Quang Ninh (VNA) – In an event held along the shores of Bai Tu Long Bay, Cam Pha city, the northeastern province of Quang Ninh, 500 students gathered to create a formation resembling the map of Vietnam and the national flag, marking a meaningful celebration of national pride and unity.

The activity, organised as part of commemorations for the upcoming Reunification Day (April 30) and International Labour Day (May 1), aimed to foster patriotism among the younger generation and highlight the importance of Vietnam's territorial integrity.
