Hanoi (VNA) – An exhibition featuring President Ho Chi Minh’s journey to national salvation opened in Hanoi on June 3, in celebration of the 105th anniversary of his departure abroad to seek ways to save th꧒e country (June 5) and the 126th anniversary of his birth (May 19).
Nearly 200 photos and materials on display will give an insight into the hardship endured by the late President and his contributions to national development.
Known in those days as Nguyen Tat Thanh, Uncle Ho made the decision to go abroad in 1911 and travelled to discover the pathway to freedom, to be awakened to Marxism-Leninism and become a communist devoted to the entire Vietnamese people.
The first great turning point was Uncle Ho’s departure in the summer of 1911, when he was 21 years old. On June 5, 1911, he left the nation on the ship, Admiral Latouche Treville using the name Van Ba and began to earn his living by working at various jobs, while self-educating and exploring other peoples realities. He gradually took part in the struggles of workers and people in places he visited.
June 5, 1911 was an especially significant milestone, not only in the life of a person, but also the history of a nation. At that time, Nguyen Tat Thanh himself neither understood that he was shouldering a great national historical task, nor knew that on that day an extremely sacred mission had been assigned to him.
With strong will, intelligence and talent, he led the Vietnamese revolutionary movement to follow the orbit of a proletarian revolution. He set up the Communist Party of Vietnam and prepared the necessary conditions to bring national liberation to final victory.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese people successfully conducted the August Revolution in 1945, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and opening up a new era in Vietnamese history – the era of national independence and socialism.
The event will last throughout June.-VNA
Vietnam News Agency would like to introduce the article, “Great turning points in Ho Chi Minh’s journey to salvage the nation” written by Le Quynh Mai.
A meeting to mark the 100th anniversary of the day late President Ho Chi Minh left the nation to seek ways for national salvation was held in Ho Chi Minh City on June 5.
The General Union of Vietnamese in France (UGVF) opened a photo exhibition entitled “Ho Chi Minh in France – a 100-year journey” in the French capital city of Paris.
A ceremony was held at the Nha Rong wharf in Ho Chi Minh City on June 5 to mark the 102nd anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s journey for national salvation (June 5, 1911-2013).
To the Vietnamese nation, President Ho Chi Minh represents more than a great personality, great thinker and great career. His life marked the glorious era of Ho Chi Minh, which was central to national development. Furthermore, he left behind a historic testament.
His testament is an invaluable historic document that summarises the quintessence of his thoughts and his noble soul, and includes recommendations and deep sentiments. It also gives voice to President Ho’s deep faith in the entire Party, people and army, as well as generations of Vietnamese people.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
Digitalisation does not mean commercialisation or oversimplification of culture. It is a way of selecting, adapting, and spreading traditional values through a modern language.
