A delegation of the Vietnamese Embassy in the Czech Republic led by Ambassador Duong Hoai Nam has held working sessions with leaders of Chrastava city, where President Ho Chi Minh visited in July 1957 and met with 100 Vietnamese cadets studying there.

The ambassador reiterated a proposal to place a stele in commemoration of the late leader’s visit. He emphasized that with the efforts of the Chrastava city administration, the embassy and the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic, this idea will soon become a reality.

This will be a special event on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties, and an important milestone for the Vietnamese people to remember the Chrastava city and the Czech Republic, he continued.
