At the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's National Reunification Day, the military forces of China, Laos and Cambodia participated in the parade, demonstrating the respect and support of neighboring countries for Vietnam's important political event, and at the same time showing the traditional friendship, solidarity and closeness between Vietnam and the three neighboring countries.

Over the past week, from the first days of arriving in Vietnam until the preliminary rehearsal, final rehearsal and the celebration, the three countries' military blocs have always received great attention. When parading through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, the Chinese, Lao and Cambodian military blocs received great cheers, encouragement and support from the Vietnamese people.

Images and videos in newspapers and social networks about the parade of the three countries' armies received no less attention than the parade of the Vietnamese armed forces.
