Farewell ceremony held for foreign military delegations participating in parade

The participation of these military delegations in the parade showed the respect and support of neighboring countries for Vietnam’s significant political event, while highlighting the traditional friendship, solidarity, and close ties between Vietnam and the three countries.

The grand celebration on April 30 was an extremely important event not only for the Vietnamese people, but also for international friends who accompanied and supported Vietnam in the struggle for national independence. Vietnam's invitation to the Ministries of National Defense of China, Laos, and Cambodia to send military forces to the parade confirmed the foreign policy of the Party, State, Central Military Commission, and Ministry of National Defense of Vietnam and demonstrated the spirit of pure international solidarity and Vietnam's appreciation for the support, solidarity, and assistance of international friends.

The three contingents’ participation in the parade contributed to the overall success of the ceremony, thereby affirming Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization and diversification of relations, being a friend and trusted partner of all countries.

Below are some photos of the farewell ceremony.
