​Hanoi (VNA) - An exhibition titled “Imprints and aspirations in new era” is being held at the National Convention Centre in Hanoi on June 17–18, honouring the traditions, mettle, intellect and aspirations for advancement of Vietnamese women across different historical periods.

Organised within the framework of the 14th National Congress of the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU), the exhibition underscores the enduring role of women as a key force in struggles for national independence, post-war reconstruction, and socio-economic development, while reaffirming their growing position in the era of integration and globalisation.

The exhibition is organised into three interconnected themes that collectively trace the historical journey, recent achievements and global aspirations of Vietnamese women.

It reflects the VWU’s development alongside the nation’s major historical milestones, highlighting the enduring contributions of Vietnamese women in national liberation, reconstruction and development. From wartime resilience and post-war recovery to the era of reform, integration and globalisation, women have consistently played a central role in both national progress and community life.

The exhibition also captures key achievements of women’s organisations in the current period, particularly in digital transformation, economic empowerment, social inclusion, gender equality and welfare protection.

These efforts demonstrate the ongoing innovation of women’s organisations and their commitment to improving the quality of life, and expanding opportunities for women and children across society.

At the same time, it showcases the growing presence of Vietnamese women on the global stage in different fields ranging from politics and science to business, diplomacy, defence and sports, including contributions to international peacekeeping. This reflects their increasing confidence, capability and integration in a rapidly changing world.

The exhibition affirms the long-standing contributions of Vietnamese women while highlighting their aspirations and expanding role in enhancing Vietnam's position on the international stage./.

Footsteps in search of fallen soldiers

In response to the 500-Day Campaign for searching and repatriating the remains of fallen soldiers, officers and soldiers of the Tuyen Quang Provincial Team for Searching and Recovering Martyrs’ Remains are actively conducting missions to locate the remains of soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the defense of the northern border. Despite numerous challenges caused by the passage of time, rugged terrain, and significant landscape changes over decades, every piece of information from archival records, martyrs’ relatives, veterans, and local residents, no matter how small, is carefully collected, studied, cross-checked, and verified to clarify potential leads. Regardless of harsh weather conditions, driven by a sacred responsibility to the Party, the State, the People, and the families of fallen heroes, the officers and soldiers remain committed to field investigations, meeting witnesses, reviewing evidence, and verifying information to ensure searches are conducted at the correct locations. Their efforts reflect dedication, responsibility, and profound gratitude to comrades who sacrificed their lives for the Fatherland, with the hope of bringing them home to their comrades, families, and homeland.
