A solemn ceremony was held on May 19 at the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Nachok village, Muang district, Nakhon Phanom province, northeastern Thailand, to mark the 135th birth anniversary of the late Vietnamese leader.

The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site represents one of Vietnam's most significant historical and cultural landmarks as it is the place where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked during the final 15 years of his life.

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on February 17 visited a memorial site dedicated to late Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh in the northeastern province of Nakhon Phanom, affirming its historical significance and role as a bridge to connect and strengthening the Thailand-Vietnam friendship.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam recently signed a decision to recognise five relic sites as special national ones.
