Hanoi (VNA) 🅺– Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh has highlighted the upcoming exhibition on national achievements on the occasion of the country's 80th National Day as an unprecedented, large-scale event with diverse content, urging all stakeholders to demonstrate the highest sense of responsibility to make it commensurate with 80 years of national construction and defence.
Chairing a meeting of the steering committee for the exhibition on August 12, Chinh, who is also head of the committee, stressed that with only 15 days until the opening, and just one week until the preliminary review, the workload remains considerable. He urged strong determination and maximum effort to fulfil assigned tasks.
Chinh reminded that the Prime Minister’s Official Dispatch No. 126 clearly defines key priorities, responsibilities, and assignments for ministries, sectors, and localities, which must now be implemented with full commitment. All resources should be mobilised around the clock to basically complete preparations before August 15 as directed.
Authorities are tasked with carefully reviewing exhibition content, ensuring all materials and images accurately reflect reality and match the event’s stature. All participating provinces and cities are required to fully deploy 34 culinary train carriages showcasing the gastronomic highlights and specialties of all 34 localities.
Alongside the scheduled artistic programmes and side activities, agencies, enterprises, and localities are encouraged to propose additional promotional events, conferences, seminars, and signing of cooperation agreements to present potential, strengths, and new investment opportunities. Communication and publicity efforts must be intensified via media platforms to attract widespread public interest and participation.
According to Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong, the installation of pavilions has been carried out since August 1. The exhibition is set to open at 9 am on August 28 and close at 8 pm on September 5 at the outdoor stage of the National Exposition Centre. A preliminary review will take place on August 20, followed by a full rehearsal on August 26.
At the meeting, representatives from ministries, agencies, and localities reported on the performance of their assigned tasks. Deputy General Director of the Vietnam News Agency Nguyen Thi Su suggested ministries and sectors give interviews and provide more information about their participation to enrich media coverage of the event./.
The exhibition will be a political and cultural event of special significance as it offers an opportunity for the entire Party, people, and armed forces to reflect on the 80-year journey of fighting for independence, defending, and building the country under the comprehensive leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Chairing the steering committee’s hybrid meeting with relevant ministries, agencies, and provincial authorities on July 25, Deputy PM Chinh stressed that as a key national celebration marking the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 - 2025), the event must be held in a dignified manner, in line with the Party and State’s guidelines, with a scale, stature, and significance worthy of the nation’s proud 80-year journey.
Titled “The 80-Year Journey of Independence – Freedom – Happiness,” the exhibition will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre in Hanoi's Dong Anh, from August 28 to September 5. It will showcase Vietnam’s most significant achievements in politics, economy, society, defence, diplomacy, science and technology, health, education, culture, and tourism.
Chien reaffirmed Vietnam’s stance on the settlement of disputes through peaceful measures in accordance with international law, particularly the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), as well as full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and early finalisation of a substantive, effective Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC).
PM Pham Minh Chinh expressed his hope that Japanese enterprises will continue standing side by side with Vietnam on the development path, thereby benefiting the two business communities, both countries, and their peoples.
The signing of the agreement is part of the efforts to concretise the joint statement issued during the visit to Cuba by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee To Lam in September last year.
Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam's spouse, Ngo Phuong Ly, expressed her hope that the RoK will share its experience and work with Vietnam to foster closer collaboration in cultural industry.
Eighty years since the historic autumn of 1945, the Vietnamese nation has overcome countless challenges to gain its independence and gradually develop thanks to the revolutionary path that is both resolute and flexible under the leadership of the Party.
Party General Secretary To Lam said since Vietnam and the RoK established their diplomatic ties in 1992 and upgraded their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2022, they have enjoyed expanded collaboration, delivering tangible benefits to their peoples and businesses.
The state visit to the RoK by Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam and his spouse was a great success, marking a significant milestone and opening a new chapter in the Vietnam–RoK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
In any circumstances, the Lao People’s Army will always stand shoulder to shoulder with its Vietnamese counterpart to safeguard both nations and nurture their great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation.
State President Luong Cuong sent a congratulatory message to President of the Republic of Ecuador Daniel Noboa on the occasion of the 216th National Day of the South American country (August 10).
Vietnam and the RoK should maintain regular exchanges at all levels, especially high level, across the Party, State, Government, National Assembly, and people-to-people channels; expand cooperation in diplomacy, national defence-security, economy, and sci-tech; and effectively realise existing cooperation mechanisms and agreements, said Party leader To Lam.
Party General Secretary Lam called on the RoK to help enhance the capacity of Vietnamese firms to integrate more deeply into the global supply chains of Korean companies, and to encourage Korean businesses to expand investment in Vietnam, particularly in infrastructure development, high-tech electronics manufacturing, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and smart cities.
Vietnamese brides in the Republic of Korea urged educational support, particularly access to Vietnamese language classes for their children, age-appropriate curricula, and resources for single mothers while meeting with Ngo Phuong Ly, spouse of Party General Secretary To Lam.
President of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Lee Jae Myung emphasised that the first visit to the RoK by General Secretary Lam in his capacity as the top leader of Vietnam holds special significance as it creates strong momentum for enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening political trust, and further promoting the RoK – Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the next phase.
The supervision team urged the Government to promptly issue a national human resources development strategy until 2030, with a vision to 2050, and ensure sufficient funding for strategy implementation.
Regarding the East Sea issue, Vietnam reaffirmed its consistent stance of solving all disputes through peaceful means, in accordance with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
The leaders noted that the two sides had agreed to turn scientific and technological cooperation into a pillar and a new highlight of bilateral relations.
This is a crucial session to consider and give opinions on a wide range of issues to be submitted to the NA's 10th sitting – the final of the current term, which will review the 2021–2026 tenure and prepare for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s first general election.
The signed documents include a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on scientific and technological cooperation, an MoU on copyright and related rights cooperation, and another on strengthening collaboration in renewable energy.
