These events include a grand military parade, national-level exhibition on 80-year socio-economic achievements.
The celebrations are designed to deepen understanding across the Party, armed forces, and the general public about the profound historical significance of the 1945 August Revolution and the founding of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam—now the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.
Organizers aim to foster patriotism, national pride, and unity, while strengthening the collective will for peace, self-reliance, and resilience. The events will also honor those who sacrificed their lives for national independence and reunification, and reaffirm the nation's commitment to continued development and protection.
These commemorative activities are expected to reinforce public confidence and pride in the Party and State, while fostering national consensus as Viet Nam steps into a new chapter of growth and prosperity.
The August Revolution Commemoration marks eight decades since the Viet Minh-led uprising (August 13–19, 1945) that overthrew Japanese and French colonial control. Meanwhile, National Day celebrates 80 years since President Ho Chi Minh's historic Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945./.
