Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Duy Quat - former Deputy Head of the Central Committee for ideology and Culture - analyzed that 80 years ago, our entire nation was united, unanimous, and made the success of the August Revolution, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, opening an era of independence and freedom. Today, that power continues to be inherited and promoted to build a strong country. The A80 event is both a gratitude to the previous generation and a call for the current and future generations to join hands, be unanimous, maintain faith and aspiration, so that the country can move forward firmly on the path of integration and development.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Duy Quat, the A80 event took place at a strategic time. After nearly 40 years of renovation, the country's position and strength have grown significantly; Vietnam's international position and prestige have been enhanced. This is also the time when we are preparing for the 14th National Party Congress - the beginning of the era of national growth. The A80 event is a premise for the country to prepare to enter a new development stage, preparing for two goals of 100 years (the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party in 2030 and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country in 2045).
arousing the pride and will to rise up strongly of the Vietnamese people
The outstanding political significance is to encourage and motivate the entire Party, army and people to strive to successfully achieve the goals set by the 13th National Congress, while preparing the best conditions to enter the 14th National Congress - bringing the country into a new era, an era of rising up, an era of strong development under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam. At the same time, the event also sends a message of international solidarity, especially the traditional friendship with countries in the region and the world - Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Duy Quat emphasized.
Dr. Le Trung Kien (Ho Chi Minh Institute and leaders of the Party, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics) said that the A80 event series, especially the parade and parade on the morning of September 2, has left a deep impression on the minds of millions of Vietnamese people and international friends. It is not just a celebration, but a crystallization of the power of history, culture and Vietnamese spirit.
In each rhythmic walk, each flag is flown, people realize the unity of the entire nation - from the armed forces, workers, farmers, intellectuals to young people, women, and overseas Vietnamese. It is that resonance that has aroused national pride, reviving the sacred memories of the August Revolution in the fall of 1945, when the whole nation unanimously won independence, opening a new era.
In each parade, people clearly see the internal strength of the nation - the strength not only comes from weapons or technology, but more importantly, from the people's heart and the will to unite in building the Fatherland. That national spirit is also the "key" to helping Vietnam overcome the challenges of the changing world situation, of strategic competition between major countries, and even internal difficulties in the development process" - Dr. Le Trung Kien analyzed.
