Vietnam's 80th National Day

Vietnam’s 80th National Day – A Journey of Pride and Resilience

On September 2nd, Vietnam celebrates its 80th National Day – a historic milestone that marks the country’s enduring spirit, unity, and progress. Eight decades ago, in 1945, President Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam’s independence at Ba Đình Square, opening a new chapter of freedom and self-determination for the nation.

Over the past 80 years, Vietnam has overcome immense challenges, from wars of resistance to the difficult years of rebuilding, to emerge as a dynamic and fast-growing economy in Southeast Asia. Today, Vietnam is known not only for its rich culture and resilient people but also for its increasing role in global trade, sustainable development, and regional cooperation.

This anniversary is a time for every Vietnamese citizen, at home and abroad, to reflect on the sacrifices of past generations and to take pride in the nation’s achievements. It is also a moment to look forward, with confidence, to Vietnam’s continued journey toward modernization, prosperity, and peace.

Vietnam’s 80th National Day is more than a commemoration – it is a celebration of independence, resilience, and the shared belief that the country’s best days are still ahead.
