This year’s theme reflects the vision and aspiration for the country’s development in the new period. Namely, “aspiration” reflects the nation’s strong rising spirit; “peace” is the core value and foundation for sustainable development radiating from Hanoi - the “City for Peace,” and “prosperity” represents the goal of building a wealthy and strong Vietnam where all citizens, including the overseas Vietnamese community, are given the opportunity to develop their abilities, intelligence and desire to contribute .

The “Homeland Spring” 2026 will have the longest duration in recent years, taking place immediately after the success of the 14th National Party Congress. The program helps spread the message of great national unity, affirming that the overseas Vietnamese community is an inseparable part of the Fatherland.

A highlight is the program’s first-time connection with Ninh Binh province following its administrative merger. This serves as an opportunity to strengthen the bond between expatriates and their homeland while allowing Ninh Binh leaders to promote the province’s potential and unique cultural values to the world.

Alongside activities hosted by the State President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Hanoi will organize various events for a delegation of 100 exemplary overseas Vietnamese, including paying tribute at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and offering flowers at the Monument to Heroic Martyrs. Within the framework of the program, Party General Secretary To Lam and the President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee will meet and honor the delegation. The group will also visit and connect with local authorities in Ninh Binh province.

Meanwhile, a representative from the Hanoi municipal Department of Culture and Sports stated that the city would be responsible for three main activities: A meeting between city leaders and 100 exemplary expatriates to seek their ideas on resolving Hanoi’s current “bottlenecks,” such as green space and traffic congestion, an incense offering ceremony at the King Ly Thai To Monument, and the ritual of releasing carps to see off the Kitchen Gods at Hoan Kiem Lake.
