Hanoi (VNA) - A special art programme titled “Nguoi la Ho Chi Minh” is set to take place on May 18 at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi to mark the 135th birth anniversary of late President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 – 2025).

The event will be broadcast live on VTV1 and relayed on various central and local TV channels as well as digital platforms.

The event is held under the direction of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilisation, in collaboration with Vietnam Television (VTV), the Hanoi People’s Committee, and other units.

According to the organisers, the programme will blend historical footage, re-enactments, and modern musical performances, aiming to evoke pride and inspiration among viewers. It will feature many well-known artists and performers from national theatres and music ensembles.

The general director of the programme, Nguyen Trung Dung, shared that the event seeks to present a personal and historical portrait of President Ho Chi Minh by exploring the significance of his many aliases from Nguyen Sinh Cung and Nguyen Tat Thanh to Nguyen Ai Quoc and Ho Chi Minh. These names, he said, reflect different phases of his revolutionary life, and also embody key cultural and intellectual values of the Vietnamese people and humanity.

By honouring President Ho Chi Minh’s ideological legacy, ethical model, and independent and self-reliant thinking, the programme is expected to offer meaningful inspiration as the country pursues its national development goals./.
