“I really admire the comrades who participated in all three parades, from May 7, 2024 to now. Many comrades participated in two parades. There were cases where both husband and wife participated in the parade. This is something to be respected in the light of the responsibility of each person, each individual, each comrade to the collective, to the Fatherland, to the country, especially to the people's armed forces,” General Phan Van Giang expressed.

In particular, General Phan Van Giang highly appreciated the parade and marching of the female groups and military band groups...

“Looking at the actions of the male and female groups, if we only look at the way we shake hands and walk, no one can tell that we are women, we are the weaker sex and we cannot be said to be weak.

Regarding facial expressions, I really hope that our young male soldiers should learn from the women. They go but they are very cheerful" - the Minister said and reminded the groups to continue to practice and promote their strengths to gradually become stronger and more majestic.
