Resolution and Life

As war correspondents for the Vietnam News Agency, they arrived on the battlefield in the South during the final years of the resistance against the U.S. After the liberation, amidst the chaos and the lingering effects of war, they got married in a special ceremony—considered the first wedding of the liberation forces in Saigon after April 30, 1975.

In the spring of 1975, under the clear-sighted leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), the Vietnamese army and people achieved a historic victory – completely liberating the South, reunifying the country, and ending more than two decades of war against the US imperialists.

In excerpts from the article, General Secretary Lam underlined that national reconciliation remains a “long-term strategic choice” and a “pillar of the great national unity bloc.”

The victory was the result of the Vietnamese people's unwavering determination to build a unified nation that could never be divided by any force.

Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Cuba Mai Thao has shared vivid memories of the day Vietnam’s reunification sent shockwaves of celebration across Cuba — a nation that embraced April 30, 1975, as if it were its own triumph.

PM Chinh asked the Chairpersons the People’s Committees of centrally-run cities and provinces to carry out comprehensive inspections of all suspension bridges, assess current conditions, and make necessary repairs.

The history of revolutionary journalism in Vietnam has recorded the profound imprint of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) as a strategic, reliable information agency of the Party and State throughout the great resistance wars. During the years of arduous warfare, with patriotism, courage, and unwavering will, its reporters were present on all battlefields, vividly reflecting on the heroic struggle of the Vietnamese army and people for national independence, freedom, and reunification, said VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang.

Recalling the heroic days of the country 50 years ago, journalist Ngoc Bich, former reporter and editor of the southern news bureau under the VNA’s Domestic News Department said she has been proud to have lived and witnessed the brilliant days when the Vietnamese troops and people defeated the most powerful imperialist in the world.

On April 23, 2025, President Luong Cuong signed Decision No. 689/QD-CTN on presenting gift packages to individuals who rendered meritorious service to the revolution, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975-2025), and the 80th anniversary of the National Day (September 2, 1945-2025).

On April 30, 1975, Sunnerberg came to work as usual, unaware of the historic day ahead. Then came the moment - news broke that Liberation Army had entered Saigon and surrounded the presidential palace of the Republic of Vietnam. Could it be true? Could 30 years of war really be over?

The war keepsakes not only hold historical value but also serve as evidence for post-war Vietnam-US friendship. They also embody compassion and hope for a closer future relationship between the two nations.

Vesak 2025 is expected to strengthen exchanges and friendship between the Vietnamese people and international friends, and affirm Vietnam’s position and responsibility to the UN and the international community.

To achieve the ambitious targets for this year and beyond, the PM has highlighted the priorities of boosting economic growth, maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, and guaranteeing major economic balances.

The victory of the resistance war against the US for national salvation was the result of many factors, including the outstanding achievements of the people’s armed forces and the sacrifices of millions of heroes and martyrs.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Minh Tam emphasised that the upcoming state visit to Laos by State President Luong Cuong carries profound significance, reflecting the Vietnamese Party's and State's consistent view of treasuring the special relationship with the neighbouring country.

A total of 201,651 makeshift and dilapidated homes across Vietnam have been rebuilt or are currently under construction as of April 18, according to the Ministry of Ethnic and Religious Affairs.

This nationwide drive is part of an ongoing emulation campaign launched by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and calling for concerted efforts to eliminate substandard houses by the end of this year.

As a highlight of the commemorative activities, it vividly retraced the nation’s proud and heroic history, celebrating the monumental victory of the 1975 Spring Offensive, while highlighting the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people and armed forces, as well as the iconic image of “Uncle Ho’s soldiers” in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign.
