In Beijing , the Vietnamese Embassy hosted a friendship exchange on May 18 for Vietnamese and Chinese students. Vietnamese Ambassador to China Nguyen Van Tho said that while Uncle Ho had travelled to many countries in the world in seeking the path for Vietnam ’s revolution, China was the place where he stayed for the longest time. The President also made important contributions to revolutionary movements in China .
Tho expressed his hope that over 13,000 Vietnamese students currently studying in China will continue bridging the Vietnam – China friendship.

On May 19, the Kaysone Phomvihane Museum began the construction of another memorial complex for President Ho Chi Minh in the central province of Savannakhet of Laos , where the President stayed in 1928 and 1929.
The 1,000sqm will be completed within the next 18 months at a cost of nearly 200,000 USD.
The Politburo of the Lao People’s Party Revolutionary has decided to build three memorial complexes dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh. The third one will be in Vientiane capital city.
Meanwhile in the UK , the Embassy staff and overseas Vietnamese laid a wreath at the New Zealand House, formerly the five-star Carlton hotel where the President worked in 1913.
