Ms. Thai Thu Xuong - Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL), Chairwoman of the Voting Council for the Vietnam Glory 2025 Program - emphasized at the press conference for the Vietnam Glory 2025 held on the afternoon of June 16.
According to Ms. Thai Thu Xuong, 2025 is the 21st year the Vietnam Glory program has been held. Over the years, the program has constantly innovated, promoted the spirit of honoring outstanding collectives and individuals, thereby spreading and inspiring the community.
This year, the theme of the program is "Pride and Aspiration". This theme reminds us of the proud historical journey of the nation since the founding of the Party and the founding of the Trade Union organization until now; at the same time, arousing the spirit of aspiration to rise high and reach far in Vietnam in the period of integration and development.
This year's program is even more meaningful when taking place right on the anniversary of many important historical milestones of the country: 95 years of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, 80 years of the founding of the country, 50 years of the Southern Day for complete liberation and national reunification. This is also the year of the Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress - opening a new era of development, an era of strong national growth.

By 2024, 110 collectives and 184 individuals have been honored through Vinh Quang Vietnam programs. In 2025, it is expected that 13 collectives and 6 outstanding individuals will continue to be honored.
Ms. Thai Thu Xuong provided information that the selection of individuals and groups is carried out on the basis of 3 main criteria: Individuals and groups with impressive, especially important contributions, with a long history in 80 years of building and defending the Fatherland; having excellently completed their tasks in recent years and having the potential to contribute in the future, especially in areas such as digital economy, green economy, innovation, sustainable development.
The third criterion is advanced models with exemplary actions, highly appreciated by society, inspiring the community positively.
In addition, the new point this year is that the program not only focuses on individuals and groups with many achievements but also aims at new factors, factors with potential, expressing the aspiration of the nation to rise up.
