In her opening speech, Nguyen Thi Tam, Vice Chairwoman of the Dong Anh District People’s Committee, stated that the exhibition is an opportunity to reflect on the glorious history and traditions of the nation, the heroic achievements of the army and people, and the legacy of the Heroic Armed Forces of Hanoi. It serves to awaken national pride and patriotism, reinforce the building of a strong all-people national defence, and strengthen the national defence posture in close connection with the people’s security posture in Hanoi. This contributes to the local socio-economic development and the firm safeguarding of the fatherland.

The 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification is a time to reflect on the nation’s heroic history and to widely promote the great significance and historical value of the Great Spring Victory of 1975. It offers an opportunity to review the journey of national construction and development, helping future generations better understand the value and lessons drawn from the nation’s practical struggles. This aims to strengthen their will and determination in building and defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, turning past glorious achievements into motivation to fulfil the historical mission of a new era – the era of the nation’s rise.
The exhibition will run from April 21 to April 26, 2025, at the Political Centre of Dong Anh District.
