This directly contributes to promoting, protecting and enhancing the image, prestige and position of the Army, spreading the qualities, values and fine traditions of Uncle Ho's Soldiers.
General Phan Van Giang recalled the image of the Vietnamese Army participating in the parade for the first time on Red Square in Russia, the soldiers singing the song Kachiusa, or the army of the neighboring country singing "As if Uncle Ho were here on the great victory day" when participating in the parade to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification in Ho Chi Minh City. These emotional images were vividly conveyed by the press.
The country is preparing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, September 2. This occasion also marks the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army.
Minister Phan Van Giang said he will invite some friendly countries to participate in the parade. Although the number is not large, it will be a mark affirming that Vietnam is a country respected and admired by friends around the world.

The defense economic groups focus on political tasks to work with the people to protect borders, landmarks and territorial integrity.
