Hanoi (VNA) – The exhibition on 80-year national achievements must vividly portray Vietnam’s journey of safeguarding and building the nation, while inspiring national pride and aspiration as the country enters a new development era, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said on June 23.
Chairing a meeting with ministry and sector leaders on preparations for the exhibition, to be held in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2025), the PM stressed that the event must be designed to serve the public’s cultural needs and introduce Vietnam’s progress to international friends.

He called for the maximum mobilisation of documents, artifacts, and representative individuals, and the integration of displays with cultural, artistic, recreational, and interactive activities.
