(Chinhphu.vn) - On the evening of May 2, the art program "Song of Victory" took place at Ho Guom Theater (Hanoi).

The program was directed by the Department of Political Work ( Ministry of Public Security ) and organized by Ho Guom Theater to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory Day over Fascism (May 9, 1945 - May 9, 2025).

General Secretary To Lam, former General Secretary Nong Duc Manh and his wife attended the program.

Also attending were Politburo members: Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council Nguyen Xuan Thang, Minister of National Defense Phan Van Giang, Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Chief of the Party Central Committee Office Le Hoai Trung.

The program was also attended by members of the Party Central Committee, representatives of leaders and former leaders of central departments, ministries and branches and Hanoi City; ambassadors, chargé d'affaires, heads of international organizations in Vietnam; revolutionary elders, veterans, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, Heroes of the People's Armed Forces and those who have studied, worked and lived in the Russian Federation.

The representative of the program's Organizing Committee said: During the historic days of April, Vietnam joyfully celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country with many meaningful activities. As one of the countries that experienced war and was colonized, the Vietnamese people always cherish the values ​​of peace, and are more deeply imbued with the meaning of victory of peace-loving forces and the spirit of solidarity among countries around the world.

The victory over fascism opened up opportunities for many countries in Europe and Asia to rise up and eliminate the shackles of colonialism, build and gradually form a global socialist system. The Soviet Union, as a leading force, not only contributed to protecting world peace, but also became a spiritual and material support for the national liberation movement in many places, including Indochina, where the Vietnamese people rose up to regain independence and freedom after decades of domination.

Throughout nearly a century, the former Soviet Union (now the Russian Federation) has always accompanied the Vietnamese people in the struggle for independence, national liberation, national unification and in the construction of socialism. Russia is not only a great friend in politics, defense and economy but also a cradle that nurtured the souls of many generations of Vietnamese people with a culture imbued with humanity, depth and generosity.

The Russians, the owners of a culture of profound knowledge and proletarian internationalism, have left deep impressions in the hearts of the Vietnamese people. To this day, the spirit and beauty of Russian culture and art still exist in the lives of the Vietnamese people and are spread through many cultural exchange activities between the two countries.
