Speaking at a meeting of the Central Steering Committee for the commemoration of major anniversaries and significant historical events in Hanoi, the Party leader stressed that preparations for and organization of the upcoming anniversaries must reflect the significance and stature of the events, highlight Vietnam’s national position, and instill patriotism, solidarity, resilience, national pride and determination in the cause of national construction, defense and development.
According to the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, and Mass Mobilization, preparations are being carried out promptly and meticulously in line with Politburo and Secretariat guidance.
Training and rehearsals for the grand parade on September 2 are on schedule, while infrastructure upgrades at Ba Dinh Square, decorative works and installation of stands have been largely completed.
Security, medical, environmental and logistical measures are in place to ensure absolute safety. Alongside the main ceremony, commemorative projects, knowledge competitions, social welfare programs and patriotic emulation movements are also being organized nationwide, the commission reported.
General Secretary Lam underlined the need for a high sense of responsibility, activeness and smooth coordination of authorities at all levels and sectors in the work.
He urged ministries, agencies and localities to adhere to the Central Steering Committee’s comprehensive master plan and ensure that all works are conducted in a solemn, efficient and focused manner, with seamless coordination between central and local levels.
The Party chief underscored that the commemorations must be thorough, secure and people-centered. Arrangements for receiving delegates, guests and the public must be thoughtful, with special attention to revolutionaries, war veterans, senior citizens and those with meritorious service, reflecting the gratitude of the Party and State, he stated.
As the celebration will attract a large number of people, especially domestic and international visitors, he asked Hanoi, as the host, to be fully prepared, ensuring smooth organization in terms of accommodation, transportation and participation in the festivities. Alternative plans must also be in place in case of adverse weather, he added.
