Armenian PM pays tribute to memory of Vietnam’s heroes, Ho Chi Minh
The official visit of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his spouse Anna Hakobyan to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has kicked off, the PM's press service reported.
Accompanied by his spouse and the Armenian government delegation, early on Friday the PM first called at the Memorial of Heroes Perished for the Sake of Vietnam’s Independence and Freedom, as well as the Mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh, the founder of Vietnam. He laid wreaths at the Memorial and the Mausoleum in tribute to the memory of the fallen heroes and Ho Chi Minh.
Nikol Pashinyan and Anna Hakobyan next visited the Temple of Literature in Hanoi to get acquainted with the exhibits and the temple’s background history. Vietnam’s central educational center was stationed there in the 10th-11th centuries.
Named after Confucius, the temple was built in the same way as the Chinese Van Mue temple in his homeland. It is attractive in its architectural form and is one of the few examples of Vietnam’s medieval architecture. The temple features the statues of the kings of Vietnam and the founders of the educational center. In conclusion of the tour, Nikol Pashinyan signed the Book of Honorary Guests.
Later today, Pashinyan will meet with Prime Minister of Vietnam Nguyen Xuan Phuc. Thereafter, the two prime ministers will hold a joint press conference to sum up the results of their talks.
