This year, the organizing panel forecasted that the number of people visiting VIDEX2024 would be even higher than the previous time. Thus, they planned many scenarios, with the goal of creating the most favorable conditions for them to come for the event.
This helped beautify the revolutionary nature of Uncle Ho’s soldiers “born from the people, fighting for the people, and serving the people.” It was more meaningful as the whole country was celebrating the 80th founding anniversary of the VPA, underlined Sr. Lt. Gen. Phung Si Tan.
Though the organizing panel well prepared different plans, Gen. Tan shared that he was very moved as crowds of people across the country come to the expo. Thousands of them lined up at 6a.m. at the gate of the event, although the opening time started at 9a.m. According to information from the exhibition’s organization panel, by the evening of December 21, over 100,000 people had visited the expo.
Gen. Tan held that the VIDEX2024’s organizing panel treasured and was grateful to people’s sentiments to the VPA in general and the expo in particular. Hence, the organizing panel should try their best to support people to see the event.
