25 April 2025

In the joyful atmosphere of the last days of April, people across Vietnam are eagerly preparing for the special holiday lasting from April 30th to May 1st. This is not only an opportunity to relax and gather with family, but also a time to remember the heroic achievements of the nation, honoring the sacrifices and efforts over the past 50 years since the Liberation of the South and the reunification of the country.

On April 30, 1975, the Vietnam War officially ended, the South was liberated, marking an important turning point in the nation's journey of rebuilding. This event opened a new chapter for Vietnam, ushering in an era of peace and prosperity. At the same time, International Workers' Day on May 1st is also an occasion to honor the tireless contributions of workers, recognizing the remarkable development of the country over the years.

This year, events celebrating the 50th anniversary of this historic victory are being held widely across the country, with grand parades and processions in Ho Chi Minh City and major cities. These events not only showcase national pride but also affirm the spirit of unity, working together towards a bright future. It is an opportunity for every Vietnamese citizen to reflect on the struggles and great sacrifices that have shaped an independent and free nation.

In addition to the parades, special cultural and artistic activities such as music festivals, historical exhibitions, and folk performances will take place throughout the holiday, providing visitors with rich experiences of Vietnamese culture and heritage. These events attract not only local people but also offer a wonderful opportunity for international friends to learn more about the rich history and culture of Vietnam.

In the context of organizing large-scale events, the Ministry of Health also advises everyone to pay attention to protecting their health and follow safety regulations when participating in crowded activities, ensuring a holiday that is both joyful and safe.

April 30th and May 1st are not only times for rest, but also moments for every Vietnamese citizen to reflect on the arduous journey, from a divided country torn by war to a strong, peaceful, and developing Vietnam. This is an opportunity for everyone to renew their strength, unite, and look forward to a brighter future.
