PANO – The People’s Army Newspaper, in association with other military and civilian units, will hold an artistic program in Hanoi on the evening of December 20 to mark the 74th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army.
The event is also to celebrate the 29th Whole People's Defense Festive Day, the 70th founding anniversary of the Laos People’s Army, the 40th anniversary of the victory over the Southwestern border protection war and the joint victory of the Vietnamese and Cambodian peoples and armed forces over the genocidal regime.
Through well-prepared artistic performances and documentaries during the three-part program, audiences will have an opportunity to recall the 74year history of construction, war-fighting and development of the heroic Vietnam People’s Army and traditional solidarity between Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian armed forces and peoples.
