The book has been sent to libraries of 100 universities and academies in Thailand, helping local researchers and readers understand more about President Ho Chi Minh and his role in building the fruitful relationship between Vietnam and Thailand.

The Lampang Rajabhat University is scheduled to present the book to the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand, leaders of Lampang province, the Thailand-Vietnam Friendship Association, the Vietnamese Association in Thailand, universities in Thailand’s northern provinces, along with relic sites and museums in the country on May 22.
