To promote the industrialization and modernization of Vietnam, cooperation with Guangdong province is extremely effective and plays an important role.

Comrade Vu Viet Anh said that Vietnam and China are two close neighbors with many similarities in culture, society and politics. The relationship between Vietnam and China has been increasingly developing in many fields in recent times.

Vietnam considers China a top priority partner in its foreign policy. China considers Vietnam a very important priority in its neighborly diplomacy. Based on the conditions of each country, cooperation between Vietnam in general and its provinces and cities in particular with China is a need, necessity and benefits both sides.

Next, the high-ranking delegation of Nghe An province visited the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association Headquarters Relic at house number 13 (now 248 - 250) Van Minh Street, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province - a place associated with the revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh from 1924 to 1927.

House No. 13 was the headquarters of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association, the predecessor organization of the Communist Party of Vietnam founded by Nguyen Ai Quoc, and published the Thanh Nien newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Association. Here, Nguyen Ai Quoc opened three political training classes, training Vietnamese revolutionary cadres, with a total of 75 people. He was directly in charge and the main lecturer.

In 1971, the house at No. 13 Van Minh Street was decided by the People's Republic of China to be preserved as a memorial site of President Ho Chi Minh, named "Headquarters of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association". The site is under the management of the Guangdong Museum of Revolutionary History and has been ranked as a national historical and cultural relic of China.

In 2002, the Guangzhou City Government invested in comprehensively renovating the Relic and inaugurated the Relic on April 30, 2002 on the occasion of the 112th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday.

Over the years, the Guangdong Revolutionary History Museum and the Guangzhou Cultural Bureau have preserved and promoted this historical site. The Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association headquarters includes: classrooms, Uncle Ho's room, students' rooms, a kitchen and a display room displaying documents about Uncle Ho's activities in Guangzhou from 1924 to 1927.

The relic is an important red address for Vietnamese people to visit every time they come to Guangzhou, a living testament to Nguyen Ai Quoc's years of active activities in the neighboring country and also an embodiment of the friendship between the two Parties, two States and peoples of Vietnam and China.

During the program, the high-ranking delegation of Nghe An province laid wreaths and offered incense in memory of martyr Pham Hong Thai at Hoang Hoa Cuong Martyrs' Cemetery Park, Guangzhou city, Guangdong province on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of martyr Pham Hong Thai's death.

Here, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung and the delegation observed a minute of silence to commemorate martyr Pham Hong Thai, expressing deep gratitude for his heroic sacrifice for the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation, vowing to promote the tradition of solidarity, revolution, and self-reliance, to build Nghe An province to develop rapidly and sustainably.

Martyr Pham Hong Thai (born in 1895, hometown Hung Nhan commune, now Chau Nhan commune, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An province), was a Vietnamese patriot who sacrificed his life in Guangzhou on June 19, 1924.

At that time, comrade Pham Hong Thai and the Tam Tam Xa organization (the predecessor of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association) organized the assassination of the notorious Governor-General of Indochina Martial Merlin while he was working in Guangzhou.

The assassination attempt failed, and Governor Merlin was only injured. Being pursued by the enemy, martyr Pham Hong Thai threw himself into the Pearl River and committed suicide. This event left a huge echo in China as well as in the world with the name "Shadian Bomb".

After the colonial government in Sa Dien district recovered the body of comrade Pham Hong Thai, the Guangzhou city government at that time proposed to bury him. In 1925, the Republic of China government moved his first burial site at the foot of Bach Van mountain to the present-day Hoang Hoa Cuong cemetery.

In front of the tomb, there is a large stele inscribed in Chinese characters, summarizing the heroic actions of the comrade. The tomb of comrade Pham Hong Thai has the words "Tomb of martyr Pham Hong Thai" in Vietnamese and Chinese. This place has become a red address for every Vietnamese person when coming to Guangzhou to visit.
