Vietcombank accompanies 1 billion footsteps into the new era

Moving Forward with Vietnam is a community activity of unprecedented scale and significance, taking place at a special moment when the whole country is entering a new stage of development along with the rearrangement of administrative units.

"Moving Forward with Vietnam" spreads the spirit of solidarity, arouses national pride and contributes to social, environmental and health goals.

This walking event was held simultaneously in 34 provinces and cities, spreading to 3,321 communes, wards and administrative zones across the country. Initially, the expected goal was to attract about 150,000-200,000 participants, recording 1 billion steps in just one hour.

At exactly 6:00 to 7:30 a.m. on August 16, 2025, program participants nationwide will wear red shirts with yellow stars, turn to the historic Ba Dinh Square to watch the national flag-raising ceremony, sing the national anthem in unison, and march forward for a united, strong, and sustainable Vietnam.

"1 billion steps towards a new era" - a practical activity to demonstrate patriotism, reduce carbon emissions and move towards the country's Net Zero goal.

According to Ms. Doan Hong Nhung - member of the Executive Board, Director of Vietcombank Retail Banking, this is not only a sports event responding to the campaign "All people exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho" and the movement "Healthy to build and protect the Fatherland", but also a journey of millions of hearts beating together - a place where all generations and all classes of people from central to local, from urban to rural, mountainous, remote and isolated areas converge.

Each locality contributes its strength and joins hands for a great goal: for a united, strong Vietnam, ready to step into a new era - the era of national aspirations, of the spirit of progress for a powerful future.
