Da Nang (VNA) – A cultural space dedicated to the life and legacy of late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was inaugurated in the central city of Da Nang on August 5, which coincided with the 94th anniversary of the Communist Re✱view where he served as Editor-in-Chief ꦑfor nearly three decades.
The space showcases a rich collection of his books and articles published in the review, serving as a tribute to his exceptional leadership and contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the country, said head of the standing office of the Communist Review for the central and Central Highlands Tran Tho Quang.
Organisers, including the standing office, the municipal branch of the Su That (Truth) National Political Publishing House, and the Da Nang Companion Book Club, plan to expand the exhibit and maintain it as a long-term resource for visitors and researchers.
Trinh Quoc Bao, head of the book club, highlighted the cultural space’s role in spreading the General Secretary's spirit of patriotism, continuous learning, striving, solidarity, simplicity, ethics, and responsibility to young people.
This space aims to protect and promote the values of national culture, helping the younger generation understand their responsibilities to the country and motivate them to study hard and contribute to national development, he said.
The exhibition is open to the public for one month./.
Overseas Vietnamese, those from Vietnamese associations and organisations, international agencies and foreigners and locals in many countries came to Vietnam's diplomatic missions abroad to pay respects for General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong on July 25 and 26.
At 1:00 PM on July 26, 2024, the memorial service for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was held at the National Funeral Hall, No. 5 Tran Thanh Tong Street in Hanoi. Simultaneously, the ceremony took place at the Thong Nhat Hall in Ho Chi Minh City and in his hometown, Dong Hoi Commune, Dong Anh District, Hanoi. At 3:00 PM the same day, the burial service for the late Party leader took place at Mai Dich Cemetery in Hanoi.
Holding numerous important positions assigned by the Party and the State, including Chairman of the National Assembly during the 11th and 12th tenures, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong provided comprehensive, objective, and profound guidance on the organisation and activities of the legislative body. He also directed innovations to ensure that the legislative body stands strong and operates effectively, truly deserving to be "the representative of the people's will and aspirations."
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
