The same day, the Prime Minister also paid homage to President Ton Duc Thang, an exemplary communist and close comrade of President Ho Chi Minh, and a leader of the Vietnamese working class.
On the occasion, PM Chinh and his delegation also visited the exhibition "Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)" in the early years of the 20th century - where Nguyen Tat Thanh came and went to find ways for national salvation and reviewed the life and great career of President Ho Chi Minh.
