On behalf of the Party Committee, government, and people of HCMC, Mr. Nguyen Van Nen presented the Ho Chi Minh School 10 computers contributing to improving teaching and learning conditions.

The school was established in 1949 and is one of the cradles of training talents for Mongolia. On the occasion of the 90th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh, May 14, 1980, the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party issued a decision to allow Inter-Level School No. 14 to be named after President Ho Chi Minh. In 2009, a monument to President Ho Chi Minh was built on the school's campus, and in 2017, the Ho Chi Minh Traditional Room was inaugurated.
The school has around 6,000 students, 238 teachers, and staff members. The educational facility regularly organizes activities honoring the life and revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh and provides students programs with an opportunity to learn about the culture, custom, and traditions of the Vietnamese people.
On the same day, Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen and his delegation attended a reception hosted by the Chingeltei District’s authorities in Ulaanbaatar City.

The two nations are preparing to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and striving to establish a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
