On the afternoon of September 6, at the regular Government press conference in August, alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh shared about the significance and historical value of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

According to Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh: Up to now, we are still living in the echoes of Independence Day, the echoes of military parades, marches and many other activities of our country, our people celebrating the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution and National Day September 2.

Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh shared at the press conference on the afternoon of September 6.

From the perspective of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Permanent Deputy Minister Le Hai Binh said that the very good results of the past few days were the efforts of many forces, of central and local ministries and branches, and the efforts of the people under the leadership of the Politburo , the Secretariat, headed by General Secretary To Lam. Especially, the Central Steering Committee regularly celebrates major holidays and historical events of the nation.

"In recent days, people have been jokingly saying that: The Party and the State have been very subtle in arranging 79 parade and marching groups, and group 80 is the people. The people have created the foundation of this entire event.

The world is also very interested because our activities are very special. The forces participating in the parade have shown the strength of our armed forces including the people's army, people's police and the most beautiful image is the image of walking in the arms of the people.

The world was also surprised and curious that our people came out in large numbers, waiting to see the forces and sharing with each other many things that are hard to see anywhere else in the world. And the security and social order of the country, of the capital Hanoi in that context was also very beautiful. The press and many foreign reporters were very surprised.

The entire significance of those days, especially the role of the people, was emphasized by General Secretary To Lam in his speech on the occasion of the Anniversary at the historic Ba Dinh Square. The speech was about 1,480 words long, very brief, but in it, there were 17 mentions of the People, 13 mentions of the Nation, 10 mentions of Independence and 9 mentions of the Fatherland. In particular, we remember a very short and concise sentence in the General Secretary's speech. That is: Strength belongs to the people, from the people and for the people", Permanent Deputy Minister Le Hai Binh expressed.

In addition, we also have the Exhibition "80 years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness journey". As of September 5, nearly 5 million people have visited and the Exhibition is still welcoming visitors.

Minister, Head of the Government Office Tran Van Son, Government Spokesperson chaired the regular Government press conference in August.

According to Permanent Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh, the first meaning of these activities is to affirm that the path of the past 80 years under the leadership of the Party and Uncle Ho that our people have taken is the right path, going through resistance wars to gain independence, freedom and national unification. Up to today, we have built this foundation, built a peaceful Vietnam, making many other countries look at it and be surprised. That is the right path.

The second meaning is belief in the Party's leadership, belief in the path forward and belief in the strength of our people, the strength of great solidarity of our nation, including both hard power and soft power, the endogenous strength of the nation.

  The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism thanks the press agencies for their information and propaganda work to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day.

The third meaning that remains is gratitude. Gratitude to our ancestors as mentioned in the speech of the General Secretary: We are grateful to our ancestors who built the country. We are also grateful to those who sacrificed their blood and bones over the past 80 years, sacrificed their youth and sweat and tears to build our country today. This gratitude is both a tradition of our people and a love for the country.

The fourth meaning is pride. The more we love our country, the more we participate in events, the more we watch events, and the more we love our country and feel proud. We are proud of our country, proud of our people, proud of the people's army, the people's police, and proud of the cultural beauty of our people.

Also in the past few days, we are proud of the great policy of the Party, the State, and the Government when giving gifts to every Vietnamese citizen on this occasion. We are also proud of the gestures of the people on the street with each other. As long as someone starts shouting "as if Uncle Ho was here on the great victory day", all the people will sing together. That is the cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people, expressing the patriotism of the Vietnamese people.

The fifth meaning is to arouse an aspiration to grow, an aspiration to develop further, an aspiration to be worthy of the efforts of our predecessors, of Uncle Ho's wishes and to be worthy of the young generation.

General Secretary To Lam said that the children born at this time will be the masters of the country by 2045. Therefore, together we build and develop Vietnam for the young generation. And the implementation of Resolution 71 is also a contribution to this story.

The sixth meaning is a message to the international community about a peaceful, independent, friendly Vietnam, implementing an independent, self-reliant, multilateral, and diversified foreign policy. From there, it contributes to peace, stability, and development in the region and the world.

Also from the perspective of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Permanent Deputy Minister Le Hai Binh said that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism commanded 4,600 people to arrange letters on the stands, 1,600 people to participate in the Red Flag group, 160 people to participate in the parade group, including typical artists, 80 singers from the 3 regions of North, Central and South, 2,000 extras to participate in the art performance program at the end of the ceremony.

"In particular, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the participation of journalists, reporters, editors, and technicians of all press agencies, who have actively promoted and informed the recent events.

According to the Ministry's statistics, recently, there have been 15,844 news articles about these events, we have created a very beautiful wave with the hashtags: Radiant Vietnam, Proud of Vietnam, Proud of Vietnam. We have had nearly 600,000 short video clips shared with 20 million likes, 2 million shares and especially 1 billion views.

Never before have images of Vietnam been spread so beautifully within the country and internationally, thanks to the efforts of comrades. In the coming days, we also hope that the press will continue to spread and multiply the echoes and meanings as I have just shared, so that we can continue to reach the finish line in 2025 in all fields as well as in the coming years.

In the speech of the General Secretary, there was a sentence: Developing the country until 2045 is an oath of honor before history and before the people. This oath belongs to all living Vietnamese people towards their ancestors, towards those who have passed away and towards future generations," said Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Hai Binh.
