Mayor of Montreuil Patrice Bessac emphasised that Lam's trip to the city is a strong testament to the friendship between the Vietnamese and the French peoples.
The same day, Lam and the Vietnamese delegation visited the Ho Chi Minh space in the Museum of Living History in the French city, during which the top leader said the trip helped the delegation gain a deeper understanding of President Ho Chi Minh's immense sacrifices on the path to find a way to save his country, and the goodwill and valuable support that Montreuil autorities and French friends have for Vietnam and the traditional friendship between the two countries.
The space, which was inaugurated on the occasion of the 110th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 2000), presཧerves valuable images and artifacts related to the great Vietnamese leader's life and activities while he stayed in France. It is considered as one of the cultural heritage pieces of Montreuil./.
