 |
| In a solemn atmosphere, the overseas Vietnamese students and youth lined up neatly, expressed their infinite gratitude and respectfully commemorated President Ho Chi Minh’s great contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party and people of Vietnam. |
 |
| President Ho Chi Minh devoted his whole life to the people and the country, leading our Party and people to achieve glorious victories. |
 |
| The delegation's wreath bears the words: "Eternal gratitude to great President Ho Chi Minh." |
 |
| Young overseas Vietnamese are touched and excited when they are able to visit President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. |
 |
| Then, the delegation visits the President Ho Chi Minh relic site at the Presidential Palace. |
 |
| The President Ho Chi Minh relic area is where Uncle Ho lived and worked for the last 15 years of his life (1954-1969). The site maintains relics, documents, original artifacts and landscapes from that time. |
 |
| Many young overseas Vietnamese are impressed with the simple stilt house. |

| 'I think Uncle Ho is very beautiful! Even though I was born in Thailand, my parents always taught me to remember Uncle Ho's great contributions. Besides Uncle Ho's statue, I also buy pictures of him to give to my parents and friends in Thailand,” Nguyen Khac Quang, an overseas Vietnamese youth from Thailand shared with a reporter from The World & Vietnam Newspaper. |
 |
| On the same morning, within the framework of the program, the delegation also visited Bat Trang Museum, Hanoi. |
 |
| In Bat Trang village, young overseas Vietnamese have the opportunity to listen to introductions, sharing about the traditional Bat Trang pottery village and experience to make pottery by themselves. |
 |
| “To create a beautiful ceramic bowl requires ingenuity and a combination of rhythmic operations. I greatly admire the ingenuity of Vietnamese artisans. Visiting and making pottery by myself is an opportunity for young people like me to understand and love the traditional cultural values of the homeland," shared Nguyen Thu Hien, an overseas Vietnamese youth from Germany, who was the fastest at making pottery during the experience. |
