The song “Song of Vietnamese Diplomacy ”, composed by Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thanh Binh, set to music by Musician, People’s Artist Doan Tien. The song has transcended the framework of a musical work, blending with many other works at the show, becoming one of the profound cultural and diplomatic messages.

Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thanh Binh attended the Award Ceremony of the Songwriting Contest for the Diplomatic Sector.

“Vietnam Diplomatic Song” has complete lyrics and music, fully reflecting the country’s humane and steadfast diplomatic policies and strategies. The song is not only a work of art but also a skillful summary of the thousand-year history of civilization, demonstrating the strategic vision of the Party and State of Vietnam. The concise, image-rich lyrics paint a picture of the messengers who are bringing the Vietnamese spirit to the world: “The roads to go forward/ Find a common voice/ Earth house/ Home of millions of hearts...”. That is the message of an open diplomacy, proactive integration, always seeking consensus and cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect. “Earth house” and “Home of millions of hearts” are not only geographical spaces but also aspirations for a peaceful , friendly world, where Vietnam is a responsible and trusted member.

The lyrics also do not forget to mention the continuity of generations and historical responsibility: "Generations of diplomacy/ Joining hands for the country/ Vietnamese diplomacy/ Thousands of years of history/ Civilization, martial arts/ All united...". That is an affirmation of the diplomatic tradition of "Remaining constant, responding to all changes" flexible but resilient, inheriting the quintessence of "civilization" (peaceful diplomacy, dialogue) and "martial arts" (resolutely fighting to protect independence and sovereignty ), all united for the supreme interests of the Fatherland.

“The Song of Vietnamese Diplomacy” made a strong impression thanks to the harmony between music - lyrics, spirit and value conveyed to the public. The song has a solemn and proud melody, both solemn and historical, and exuding the strength and steadfastness of the Vietnamese spirit. The musical materials were carefully selected, creating an artistic space worthy of the diplomatic career.

The song was written and arranged by Musician Cao Dinh Thang (Military University of Culture and Arts) and conducted by Associate Professor, Doctor, Musician Do Hong Quan. Therefore, the song is more soaring, resonant, and pervasive. With the passionate and sublime performance of two talented artists Le Xuan Hao and Nguyen Thi Mai Chi, the lyrics were breathed life into, elevating the emotions. The soulful voice, solemn but passionate demeanor helped the lyrics reach the depth of emotions, portraying the image of "messengers" who are both brave and talented.

The image of singers and artists singing hearty songs, behind which are bright lights and the emotional faces of leaders and veteran diplomats, has created a moment of tranquility, imbued with national pride. The song has become a source of inspiration, adding strength to the "peace ambassadors" who are day and night cultivating diplomatic bridges, cooperation, friendship and enhancing Vietnam's position in the era of national development./.
