Hanoi(VNA) – An exhibition entitled “Light from the Revolutionary Path” opened inHanoi on October 10, with the first print of “Duong Kach Menh” (RevolutionaryPath), a book written by late President Ho Chi Minh in the spotlight.
The exhibition isbeing held at the Vietnam National Museum of History to mark the 90th anniversary of the first publication of thebook (1927 – 2017).
The museum’s deputy director Nguyen Van Doan said “Duong KachMenh” (Revolutionary Path) includes lectures by Nguyen Ai Quoc, analias of Ho Chi Minh, at trainingcourses for staff of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth League, held inGuangzhou, China, between 1925 and 1927. The first printed versions were movedsecretly to French-controlled Vietnam before 1930.
The book is said to be among the great works in terms ofrevolutionary theory and practice. Through the book, Nguyen Ai Quoc, the firstVietnamese communist, presented the essence of Marxist-Leninist revolutionarydoctrine and the Vietnamese revolution’s basic development direction in themost intelligible way.
This book played an important role inpropagating Marxism-Leninism in Vietnam in the late 1920s. Following theguiding line of Revolutionary Path, the first students came back to Vietnam toprepare for the foundation of the Vietnam Communist Party in 1930. They alsoled the successful August General Uprising in 1945 to found the DemocraticRepublic of Vietnam and open a new era in the nation’s history.
The book currently stored at the museum is oneof the few original prints of 1927 and was recognised as a National Treasure in2012.
Alongside the“Duong Kach Menh”, more than 150 documents,artefacts, and photos are also on display to introduce to the public the book’sgreat significance as well as the revolutionary generation’s contribution- the first “red seeds” that Nguyen Ai Quoc germinated for the VietnameseRevolution.-VNA
Profiles of 30 historical objects have been submitted to the Prime Minister by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for recognition as national treasures.
As many as 18 national treasures of Vietnam are being exhibited for the first time at the Vietnam National Museum of History from January 10 to May 2017.
The eighteen national treasures, representing the historical and cultural milestones of Vietnam are put on show for the first time in the National Museum of History in Hanoi.
President Ho Chi Minh’s historical journey for national salvation will be brought closer to Vietnamese audiences through a 50- minute documentary film “Ngon duoc the ky” (Century torch) which will be screened on VTV1 channel of Vietnam Television on National Day (Sept. 2).
The original version of “Duong Kach Menh” (Revolutionary Path) book written by President Ho Chi Minh will be displayed for the first time at a special exhibition in Hanoi on October 10.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
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.
