PANO - The celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the South Liberation and National Reunification Day on April 30 was a vivid demonstration of national solidarity and pride in the nation's heroic history. Tens of thousands of people filled streets in Ho Chi Minh City, waving flags and flowers, to welcome the parade formations.

All of them shared the same desire to be part of this national celebration and send a message to the world that the Vietnamese people are peace-loving, friendly, and always willing to support and share with international friends. The younger generations - the future heirs of the country, will continue writing the nation’s heroic epic in the new era.
