The Chinese scholars emphasized the enduring support and friendship between Vietnam and China, even during challenging times. They recognized the value of the close relationship between Presidents Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong, which continues to be cherished by both nations and their people.

The Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership has been developing fruitfully and healthily, they said.

The China People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and the China-Vietnam Friendship Association have cultivated strong ties with the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) and the Vietnam-China Friendship Association. They have regularly organized cultural exchanges and festivals, which have played a significant role in enhancing people-to-people interactions, according to scholars.

At the meeting, several Chinese friends fondly remembered the indelible memories of President Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and its people.

Chen Zhijin, daughter of General Chen Geng, highlighted the longstanding tradition of friendship between China and Vietnam. She shared that her father was dispatched by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to offer assistance to Vietnam. During this time, her father spoke highly of Uncle Ho, recognizing him as a greatly revered figure. He expressed his hope that the friendship forged by the senior leaders of both nations would endure for eternity.

Wei Xiaoyi, the son of General Wei Guoqing, proudly recounts his father’s role as the head of the Chinese military advisory delegation in Vietnam. During his time in Vietnam, General Wei Guoqing played a crucial role in assisting the country in its resistance against the French and even participated in the historic Dien Bien Phu campaign. Wei Xiaoyi emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and honoring the tremendous contributions made by their predecessors in strengthening the bond between Vietnam and China. He expresses his heartfelt wish for the everlasting friendship between the two nations.

The former nurse of Nanxishan Hospital (Gui Lam) was delighted to meet PM Pham Minh Chinh and the delegation. She fondly remembered her time working at the hospital in Guilin, where she treated thousands of wounded Vietnamese soldiers transferred from the battlefield.

Ho Chi Minh City Unveils New Street Food Zone

Image
At the end of August 2017, Ho Chi Minh City opened the country’s first legal street food area on Nguyen Van Chiem Street in District 1. Since its opening, this street has quickly become a popular culinary destination for city residents and tourists. Sticky rice, fried noodles, dumplings, milk tea, and various other main dishes and snacks are sold at lower prices compared to restaurants. Saigonese people often add lots of vegetables and herbs, especially when eating watery dishes like noodles or Pho. Many street food dishes also include protein to balance the meal. The pilot implementation of this business model on Nguyen Van Chiem Street has provided stability for households, eliminating the need for roadside selling. This model not only ensures security and order but also enhances the urban beauty. Nguyen Van Chiem Street and Bach Tung Diep Park are part of the “Pilot Food Area for Temporary Business” project proposed by District 1 to the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City

Bank worker creates Ho Chi Minh City’s largest hydroponic farm

Image
Tuan was impressed by his experience working on land appraisal for the bank, which made him realize the challenges that farmers often face due to unfavorable weather conditions. In addition, with the shrinking land area for farming in Ho Chi Minh City every year, there is a clear need for an agricultural model that can yield high-quality products and high yields. These situations motivated Tuan to research farming and establish his own hydroponic vegetable farm, which can produce up to five times more than traditional growing methods. “After leaving my stable job and income to pursue farming, I faced great pressure from my family, but my passion drove me to ignore their concerns,” Tuan shared. Since hydroponic farming is a relatively new venture that requires significant initial investments, Tuan used his entire savings and secured additional funding from the bank. He also successfully convinced others to join his endeavors. So far, Tuan has invested over VND12 billion (US$488,600
