Ulaanbaatar (VNA) – Party General Secretary and State President To Lam on October 1 visited Inter-Level School No.14 named after late President Ho Chi Minh in the Mongolian capital city of Ulaanbaatar, as part of his ongoing state visit to Mongolia.

Writing on a memory book there, he expressed his delight to visit the school, one of the major national schools of Mongolia which has trained many talents for the North Asian country.

He showed his hope that the school's teachers and students will continue promoting their glorious tradition, completing their tasks and missions, meeting the expectation of Mongolian people, deserving its name, and contributing to strengthening the traditional friendship between the two countries.

Lam said he is moved to visit the school on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Vietnam-Mongolia diplomatic relations and the 75th founding anniversary of the school.

He said that beloved President Ho Chi Minh devoted his whole life to the cause of national liberation of Vietnam, contributing to the common struggle of nations for peace, national independence, democracy, and social progress in the world. President Ho Chi Minh is the first leader of Vietnam to pay an official visit to Mongolia in 1995, together with Mongolian leaders to lay firm foundation for the friendship between the two countries, opening up a period of development and solidarity between the two nations.

The top leader shared he is delighted at the fact that it is one of the leading schools, exemplifying modern and advanced general education in Mongolia, and has trained many leaders and talents for the country. He also noted that the school serves as one of the symbols for the fine traditional friendship between the two countries.

Lam wishes the school's administration, teachers, and students good health, joy, and continued successes in their noble mission for the prosperous and happy future of Mongolia and its people.

On this occasion, Lam presented 50,000 USD from the Vietnamese Party and State to support the school in upgrading its teaching equipment in preparation for the new 2024-2025 academic year. Meanwhile, the Party Committee, authorities, and people of Hanoi also provided gifts, and the Vietnam National University - Hanoi awarded scholarships to the school.

Established in 1949, the school is one of the key institutions for training talents for Mongolia. To mark the 90th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh in 1980, Mongolia decided to name the school after him./.
