On November 18, Prof.Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan visited the President Ho Chi Minh Monument in Udon Thani province, Thailand. Speaking to overseas Vietnamese from many countries, Rector Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized: "President Ho was especially invested in overseas Vietnamese because they had to live far from their homeland, but deep in our core we all share the same blood as the descendants of Hung King. We shall forever remember the event in January 1960 when President Ho welcomed overseas Vietnamese returning from Thailand to fight in the resistance war. It must be said that in caring for overseas Vietnamese, President Ho paid special attention to overseas Vietnamese living in Thailand and other countries in the Indochina region." Prof.Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized: "The Vietnamese government today always affirms that overseas Vietnamese are part of the Vietnamese ethnic community, an important factor in strengthening cooperative and friendly relations with other countries. The Government wants overseas Vietnamese to uphold the spirit of self-respect and national pride and preserve Vietnamese cultural identity and national traditions.
To love and unite together, spreading Vietnamese culture and virtues globally, all the while respecting and honoring the cultures and virtues of countries and peoples around the world... just as President Ho taught us in the old days." Rector Hoang Anh Tuan, on behalf of the overseas Vietnamese community in Laos, and Ms. Pham Thi Minh Huong (Director of the Vietnamese National Day Project in Laos) awarded a sponsorship amount of 350,000 Baht to support the construction of the Vietnamese Cultural Center in Laos, Udon Thani Province. This event was witnessed by Ambassador Phan Chi Thanh and Mr. Nguyen Manh Dong, Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
