On November 18, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan visited and worked at the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site in Udon Thani Province, Kingdom of Thailand. Speaking to overseas Vietnamese from many countries, Principal Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized:
“During his lifetime, President Ho paid special attention to overseas Vietnamese, because overseas Vietnamese had to live far from their homeland, but they were all descendants of King Hung, were all blood brothers, and always looked towards the Fatherland. We still remember the event in January 1960 when Uncle Ho personally went to Hai Phong port to welcome overseas Vietnamese from Thailand to return to contribute to the resistance war and national construction. It can be said that in his concern for overseas Vietnamese, Uncle Ho paid special attention to overseas Vietnamese living in Thailand and other countries in the Indochina region.”
Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan speaks at the working session at the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site in Udon Thani province.
Principal Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized:
“The Vietnamese State today always affirms that overseas Vietnamese are a resource of the Vietnamese ethnic community, an important factor in strengthening cooperative and friendly relations with other countries. The State wishes that overseas Vietnamese uphold the spirit of self-respect and national pride, preserve the cultural identity and traditions of the Vietnamese nation, love and help each other; unite together to spread Vietnamese culture and virtues globally in the respect and honor of the culture and virtues of other nations and peoples in the world… just as Uncle Ho advised during his lifetime:
Red silk covers the mirror,
"The descendants of Hong and Lac must love each other"
