National Achievements Exhibition in Hanoi Celebrates Vietnam's 80-Year Journey
The National Exhibition Centre in Hanoi will play host to a significant event, the "National Achievements Exhibition," from August 28 to early September 2025. This exhibition is a commemoration of Vietnam's 80 years of national development, independence, and progress [1][2][4].
The exhibition's theme, "80 Years of the Journey for Independence, Freedom, and Happiness," offers a perspective on Vietnam's history, core values, and development from early independence struggles through economic reform (Đổi Mới) to present-day global integration [2][3].
The first major event at the newly built National Exhibition Centre, an internationally designed facility capable of hosting exhibitions, seminars, artistic performances, and outdoor events, the exhibition reinforces Hanoi’s role as a cultural and innovation hub [1][4].
The exhibition is a collaborative effort, involving all ministries, 34 localities nationwide, major corporations, trade organizations, diplomatic missions, experts, and media [1][5]. It is divided into three main zones:
- General Display Area ("Vietnam – The Journey to a New Era"): This section presents historical highlights, nation-building, and defense achievements [2][3].
- Outdoor Section ("Integration and Development"): Themed areas such as For a Green Future, Aspiration for the Skies, The Sword and the Shield, Festival of the Homeland, and a stage for artistic performances are featured in this section [2][3].
- International Zone and Cultural Industries ("Integration and Innovation"): This zone showcases 12 cultural industries with focuses on creative design, green economic growth, aviation, national security, digital transformation, AI, 3D mapping, and global partnerships [2][3].
Highlight exhibits include a model of Hanoi’s Master Planning until 2045, emphasizing the city’s vision to become a modern, green, smart, and sustainable metropolis [1]. The exhibition also showcases Vietnam's most significant socio-economic development achievements over its history.
The core themes of the exhibition revolve around the dual missions of national defense and socio-economic growth that have run through Vietnam’s history, from overcoming colonial and war challenges to modern innovation and integration into the global community [2][3].
The objectives of the exhibition are to inspire patriotism, foster national pride, promote cultural and technological achievements, encourage sustainable development, and support international cooperation [1][5]. Furthermore, the exhibition offers Vietnam a platform to strengthen its global presence and promote cultural diplomacy through the participation of countries with close diplomatic ties.
In addition to these, the exhibition provides insight into national origins, ideals, and the sacrifices of earlier generations for younger generations. It also features social welfare initiatives, poverty reduction programs, public health efforts, and inclusive education.
In conclusion, the National Achievements Exhibition is a comprehensive showcase of Vietnam’s socio-political, economic, cultural, and technological milestones over 80 years, designed to engage the public and international visitors in an immersive experience of the nation’s past, present, and future [1][2][4][5].
