Hanoi (VNA) – Hanoi on August 8 unveiled “A80 – Proud of Vietnam,” a digital platform designed to connect Vietnamese citizens and international friends with activities celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).
Accessible via https://a80.hanoi.gov.vn and a mobile app, the platform serves as the official information hub for parades, cultural events, exhibitions, and public services. It offers real-time updates on schedules, traffic, security, healthcare, and live broadcasts, as well as behind-the-scenes stories and community-shared moments from across the country.
According to the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, the initiative goes beyond a standard event portal. Described as a “smart companion,” it integrates an AI chatbot for instant guidance, an interactive digital map showing venues and amenities, and social media connectivity to foster public engagement and national pride.
Designed in vibrant red and yellow with the iconic image of President Ho Chi Minh delivering the 1945 Declaration of Independence, the interface reflects both festive spirit and cultural heritage. The city hopes the platform will not only enhance user experience during the celebrations but also stand as a cultural-tech symbol of a creative, modern, and globally connected capital.
The “A80 – Proud of Vietnam” app is available on the App Store and Google Play./.
Solemn, safe and efficient parade to mark 80th National Day
The grand parade in Hanoi on September 2 is intended to reaffirm the historic significance and lasting legacy of the August Revolution and the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam - now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It also reflects the ongoing development of the armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam over the past 80 years.
