According to Ms. Thu, the biggest challenge in the implementation process is the time factor. However, thanks to the close direction of the Minister and Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, and the support from the units, the work progress is still guaranteed. Industry and Trade Magazine has the advantage of having presided over the construction of the Traditional Room and compiled the Industry History Book, making it easier to collect documents and images. However, converting historical content into exhibition language requires effort and creativity. Collecting artifacts is also a big challenge because the Industry and Trade sector has gone through many stages of separation and integration, and documents are scattered. Therefore, a scientific and comprehensive plan is needed to cover it all. The exhibition combines traditional forms and modern digital technology, such as video presentations, touch screens, 3D films, holograms, etc. to convey historical information, achievements and development goals of the industry in a vivid and attractive way for viewers.

Over 80 years of development, the Industry and Trade sector has built two solid pillars: industry and trade, contributing significantly to the national economic and technical foundation. The milestones of the sector are always associated with the history of revolution, affirming its pioneering role in production, mechanism innovation and international integration.

The exhibition of achievements "80 years of Industry and Trade growing with the country" in the series of events "Radiant Vietnam" is not only an occasion to honor the industry's traditions, but also a tribute to previous generations and a message of trust to future generations.

In just 3 months of preparation, the journey to make the exhibition has brought many emotions, because behind each document and artifact is a story about the dedication and silent sacrifice of the people in the Industry and Trade sector - those who have been and are contributing to building the country. "We hope that through the exhibition, the public and the children of the industry will be inspired, continue the tradition to continue writing the glorious journey of the nation", Ms. Thu emphasized.

Currently, workers are speeding up the progress to ensure completion and handover of the site as well as items serving the National Socio-Economic Achievements Exhibition with the theme "Brilliant Vietnam - 80 years of the journey of Independence - Freedom - Happiness" on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).
