Speaking at the opening of the program, Mr. Nguyen Manh Cuong - Alternate Member of the Party Central Committee, Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee said that 50 years of bearing Uncle Ho's name is 50 years of the city constantly transforming strongly.
From the early years of many difficulties after the war, the city has gradually risen strongly to become a civilized, modern and compassionate city; a major center of economy, finance, trade, culture, science - technology and innovation of the whole country.
Tonight, with the harmony between contemporary performing arts and 3D mapping projection technology, the facade of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee headquarters becomes an art space of light and emotion.
Through this, Ho Chi Minh City wishes to send to people, domestic friends and international tourists a message about a city named after Uncle Ho - always meaningful, dynamic, creative, integrated and sustainably developed; a city that cherishes the past, steadily moves forward in the present and confidently looks towards the future.
