Vietnam National Day - 02/09/2024

Vietnam’s National Day, celebrated annually on September 2, is a cornerstone of national identity. This momentous occasion commemorates the historic declaration of independence from French colonial rule in 1945. On this day, President Ho Chi Minh, with a deep sense of purpose and conviction, proclaimed the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam at the iconic Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi.

The echoes of that declaration reverberate throughout the country, inspiring the spirit of unity, resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people. They had endured centuries of foreign domination, and this declaration marked the beginning of a new era, an era of autonomy and sovereignty.
