Israel is inspired by Vietnam.

A peaceful, prosperous, and rapidly developing Vietnam today offers Israel hope for a bright future. This was the statement made by Israeli Ambassador Yaron Mayer at the celebration of Israel's 76th Independence Day in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of June 18th.

Israel's first Prime Minister , David Ben-Gurion, declared the country's independence on May 15, 1948, a historic moment marking the fulfillment of the Jewish people's 2,000-year aspiration to have a homeland of their own.

This year's celebration honors the courage and heroism of the Israeli people, qualities that have shaped Israel's history in the face of the existential challenges the country has overcome since its founding.

On this occasion, Israelis around the world celebrate the founding of their nation and its advancements in technology, innovation, culture, and many other fields. Israel has become a dynamic democracy, a leading nation in scientific progress, and a significant contributor to global society.

Israel and Vietnam have had diplomatic relations for 31 years, culminating in the signing of the Vietnam-Israel Free Trade Agreement last year, paving the way for unprecedented growth in bilateral trade. In 2023, trade between the two countries reached a record high of $2.7 billion.

Israeli startup support programs have boosted many Vietnamese startups through exchanges and training with Israeli experts.

During the ceremony, Israeli pianist Oren Dashti performed a series of songs specially composed for the event, including a duet of Vietnamese folk songs with a Vietnamese violinist. The background music for the event was specially composed by Israel's renowned Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
