In his address at the national ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification on April 30, 2025, Party General Secretary To Lam declared: the Great Spring 1975 Victory is the most glorious milestone in Vietnam’s history of nation-building and defense. It marked the decisive end of a heroic 30-year struggle for independence, freedom, and national unity; brought an end to more than a century of domination by both old and new colonial powers; and opened a new era— the era of national independence and socialism.

A solemn flag raising ceremony was held on April 30 in Ba Dinh square in Hanoi to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975 – April 30, 2020).

Independence Palace is a landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. The building was dedicated to accommodation of Presidents under the former Republic of Vietnam regime.
