Under the theme “The Spirit of Vietnam,” the event is designed to inspire younger generations to reflect on the nation's 80-year journey of growth and unity, and to reaffirm the collective aspiration for development in the new era.
Organizers also commit to minimizing plastic waste and enhancing green experiences, contributing to Vietnam’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
