Over the past 80 years, Viet Nam's National Assembly has made remarkable strides, playing an immensely important role in the cause of national construction and development and truly embodying the nation's democratic regime under the leadership of the Communist Party of Viet Nam.

Eighty years ago, on January 6, 1946, voters across the country were moved and proud to hold in their hands for the first time the ballots to elect the National Assembly — the highest organ of state power of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam.

Party and State leaders, along with representatives of different generations of National Assembly deputies, paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his Mausoleum in Ha Noi on the morning of January 6 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the first general election of Viet Nam (January 6, 1946 – 2026).
