At a memorial site dedicated to the late President in Xieng Vang village in the Lao province of Khammouane, the local community of overseas Vietnamese brought traditional Vietnamese cakes to put on the altar to remember the late President.

They were joined by delegates from the Vietnamese Consulate General in Savannakhet, the Laos - Vietnam Friendship Society, and the Vietnamese Association in Khammouane.

In the northeastern Thai province of Udon Thani, Vietnamese Consul General in Khon Kaen Hoang Ngoc Son and 100 overseas Vietnamese offered incense to President Ho Chi Minh at the Ho Chi Minh relic site. The site, the first of its kind in Thailand, was opened in 2006.
