The complex, located on a site where President Ho once lived near the Vietnam-Thailand Friendship Village in Noongyath commune, is expected to be completed and open to the public by September 2015.
Addressing the ceremony, Chargé d’affaires of Vietnam in Thailand Pham Thanh Nam expressed his high appreciation for the strong support from local authorities and the overseas Vietnamese community for their support for the endeavour.
“Together with the Friendship Village, the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex is one of the largest overseas memorials to honour the beloved Vietnamese leader. This is a reflection of the fine development in the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Thailand,” he noted.
Nakhon Phanom Governor Adisak Thepart praised the positive contributions of Vietnamese nationals in Thailand and their important role in boosting socio-economic development and pushing up the integration process in Nakhon Phanom province as well as Thailand in general.
Thepart described the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex as a symbol of fruitful bilateral relations which shows the good sentiments of Nakhon Phanom people towards Vietnamese friends.
During his visit to Thailand in 2013, Vietnamese Party leader Nguyen Phu Trong visited the Friendship Village in Nakhon Phanom province and presented a gift package of VND30 billion to help construct it.
