Speaking at the meeting, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations Phan Anh Son expressed his pleasure to meet again with close friends of Vietnam. He emphasized that in 1955, in the context of Vietnam having just signed the Geneva Agreement and the country being temporarily divided, President Ho Chi Minh decided to officially visit Mongolia.

Ms. Gantuya is the granddaughter of the late Lieutenant General, Hero of Mongolian Labor J. Jamian - Chairman of the Mongolian Committee to Support Vietnam, the first Chairman and then Honorary Chairman of the Mongolia - Vietnam Friendship Association, Honorary Citizen of Ho Chi Minh City, who had the honor to meet President Ho Chi Minh 7 times. This is a gratitude activity, expressing Vietnam's respect and gratitude for the support, assistance and companionship of international friends in the cause of national liberation and national construction of the Vietnamese people.
Through the delegation, Chairman Phan Anh Son respectfully sent the thanks of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations in particular and the Vietnamese people in general to the Mongolian Committee for Supporting Vietnam and the Mongolia - Vietnam Friendship Association for their valuable sentiments and support for Vietnam in the past time.
