Frank Howard Joyce, who joined the anti-Vietnam war movement in the 1960s, returned to Vietnam for the fifth time as Head of the delegation of the US National Council of Elders on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's national reunification. For him, each visit offers a deeper understanding of the strength, spirit, and value of peace as embodied by the Vietnamese people.

First and foremost, I take immense pride in being born in 1975, a historic year when Vietnam achieved reunification. As the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Vietnam, this connection strengthens my sense of duty and inspires me to uphold the values of unity and collaboration.

“Spectacular transformation” and “miraculous recovery and development” are among the praises that many international friends have offered when describing Vietnam after 50 years of national reunification.

On the morning of 27 April 2025, along Le Duan Boulevard, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, the Parade and Marching Subcommittee for the ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification held the full dress rehearsal for the parade. Vietnam People's Army Forcers proudly join the parade.

General Secretary To Lam met with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru, who is also President of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, at the Party Central Office on April 27 afternoon.

One of the most heroic chapters in our nation's history is the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country in the 20th century. Miraculously, we can witness this through letters, handwritten and typewritten ones, from General Secretary Le Duan to commanders and leaders in the South. These letters conveyed top-secret orders, supreme directives, political viewpoints, theoretical discussions, and even combat tactics. They were also imbued with the camaraderie of comrades-in-arms, the solidarity of compatriots, and the heartfelt sentiments of a son of Vietnam. These letters were later compiled into the anthology “Thu vao Nam” (Letters to the South), bearing unique and exceptional value for future generations.

Scholars shared their thoughts on Vietnam's development as the country prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.

Fifty years ago, the great Spring Victory of 1975 brought an end to a prolonged resistance war, achieving the complete liberation of the South and the reunification of the country. As recognised at the 4th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1976, this triumph was a glorious chapter in the great history of nation-building and defence.
