May 19, 2026 marks 25 years since Unit 275 under the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Command began conducting the national flag-raising and flag-lowering ceremonies at Ba Dinh Square (May 19, 2001–May 19, 2026).

Hien Luong – Ben Hai is forever a sacred symbol of the will for national reunification, the aspiration for peace, and unwavering faith in the day when the North and the South would be reunited as one family, said a Quang Tri official.

The Viet Nam Youth Federation hosted a flag-raising ceremony across 34 provinces and cities early on the morning on August 16. It was one of the federation’s activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2025).

Following the success of the event “The Homeland in Our Hearts”, the walking programme “Marching Forward with Viet Nam” organised by Nhan Dan Newspaper in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security is expected to attract the direct participation of 10,000 people in Ha Noi and 90,000 in Ho Chi Minh City.
