The launch ceremony took place at Ly Thai To Park in central Ha Noi, attended by Nhan Dan’s Editor-in-Chief Le Quoc Minh and Deputy Minister of Public Security Tran Quoc To.

The programme is expected to attract millions of people across the country to walk for health, unity, and the aspiration to rise up.

In the early morning, thousands of residents, officials, and members of the armed forces were present at Ly Thai To Park, ready to join the walk.

Nhan Dan’s Editor-in-chief Le Quoc Minh said that the walking campaign is a highly meaningful community event, taking place as the country enters a new development phase.

The walking event was held concurrently in all 34 provinces and cities, drawing hundreds of thousands of participants wearing red shirts with yellow stars.

In Hue, about 7,000 residents took part in the campaign.

At around 5 am, participants gathered at the Nghinh Luong Dinh Pavilion at the foot of the Hue Flag Tower for the occasion.

The event is expected to promote the exercise movement among the public and convey a message of unity and determination to build a modern and civilised city.

In the early morning, throngs of people rushed to Lam Vien Square in Da Lat to take part in the walking programme.

Da Lat’s romantic landscape made the walk especially lively.

The walking campaign also received support from companies such as Samsung Viet Nam.

Employees of Samsung Viet Nam’s two manufacturing facilities in Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen wore red shirts with yellow stars, sang the national anthem, and joined the walk for a united, strong, and sustainable Viet Nam.
