A half century has passed since the end of the American War in Vietnam. The sense of national pride as well as the values of benevolence, peace, and reconciliation remain intact when the country celebrates the 50th anniversary of 30 April, officially known as
The Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day.
The burning desire for peace, national independence, and reconciliation of the Vietnamese people is well reflected in Ho Chi Minh’s immortal sayings: “We would rather sacrifice everything than lose our country, than live as slaves. Dear fellow countrymen! We must rise up!” and “Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one. Rivers may dry up, mountains may erode, but that truth will never change.”
To have a better understanding of the indomitable will of the Vietnamese people and of how far Vietnam has moved beyond war consequences and adversities to become a middle-income country today, the Embassy of the S.R. of Vietnam in Czechia has a pleasure to introduce to readers of the Czech & Slovak Leaders magazine an artilce written by H.E. Mr. To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, namely “Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one” and his remarks at the national celebration of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification.
An article written by H.E. Mr. Hoai Nam DUONG – Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Czech Republic, about this historic event, will be published in our upcoming Summer Magazine ( June 2025)
