This marks President Luong Cuong’s first visit to China in his capacity as head of state. His attendance highlighted Viet Nam’s commitment to global efforts for peace, security, and development, while reaffirming the country’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, and multilateralisation. It also reflected Viet Nam’s proactive and responsible role in international integration and in promoting peace, cooperation, and development both regionally and globally.
The event brought together heads of state, government leaders and high-ranking delegations from many countries around the world.
The victory marked a turning point in the world's politics history, paving the way for the founding of the United Nations (UN) and fundamental principles of international relations, including respect for equal rights and the right to self-determination of peoples, the peaceful settlement of disputes, the renunciation of force and respect for international law.

Even eight decades later, as the world has transformed by upheavals, the triumph over fascism remains celebrated by peace lovers worldwide as a bedrock of a more stable and prosperous global order.
Following the ceremony, a large-scale military parade took place, featuring many types of modern weapons of the People's Liberation Army of China. General Secretary and President Xi Jinping personally inspected the 45 formations joining the parade, which lined up along Chang'an Avenue.
