On the morning of April 30, in Ho Chi Minh City, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification took place. This is a historic event of great significance, with the participation of senior leaders of the Party, State, National Assembly , Government, Vietnam Fatherland Front, along with international leaders and representatives.

In his speech at the ceremony, General Secretary To Lam affirmed: "Times will pass, but the victory of our people in the resistance war against the US to save the country will forever be recorded in the history of the nation as a shining symbol of revolutionary heroism, a victory of justice, a victory of Vietnamese mettle, spirit and intelligence; of ardent patriotism, aspiration for independence, freedom and national unification, with the truth 'Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one', a milestone affirming that our entire Party, people and army have realized the most earnest wishes and instructions of Uncle Ho, completing the cause of completely liberating the South, reunifying the country, and bringing the North and the South together as one family".

The General Secretary also emphasized that we are standing at a new historical starting point to help the country rise up, take off, and "stand shoulder to shoulder with the world powers".

According to VNA, recently, Nexstar Media Company cooperated with Emerson College to conduct a public opinion poll to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War (PV - the resistance war against America, to save the country).

A poll published in the Hill newspaper found that American public opinion viewed the war as the most unjustified conflict of the last century.

Specifically, 44% of adults surveyed said the Vietnam War was unjust, while 50% of respondents said they still had no clear idea of what the United States was fighting for in Vietnam.

About 25% of the survey respondents were US veterans of the Vietnam War, of whom 46% said the conflict was unjust.

“Overall, Americans tell us that the United States should not have gotten involved in a conflict that cost the lives of more than 58,000 service members and many, many more Vietnamese soldiers and civilians,” said Spencer Kimball, director of the Emerson College poll.

According to the survey results, 43% of respondents said the US has not learned its lesson and is still not more cautious when participating in foreign conflicts.
