Vietnam's Top Leaders Attend Public Event in Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam's top leadership participated in a public event titled "Sao sáng dẫn đường" (Guiding Star) held in Ho Chi Minh City on July 26. The event took place at Le Thi Rieng Park in Ho Chi Minh City, with the attendance of National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man and Politburo member and Standing Secretary of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu. Both leaders also participated in a ceremony in Hanoi on the same day to pay tribute to President Ho Chi Minh, the founding father of Vietnam. "Sao sáng dẫn đường" is understood to be a regular event aimed at boosting national morale and promoting unity under the Party's leadership. This event in Ho Chi Minh City served as an opportunity to demonstrate the Party's presence in the southern economic hub and to engage directly with the public. Other national news on the same day included reports on the discovery of remains of Vietnamese fallen soldiers in Cambodia and the announcement of Vietnam's first aluminum ingot product. These reports reflect Vietnam's efforts to cherish the memory of past wars while simultaneously focusing on economic development. Under its one-party system, Vietnam prioritizes economic growth. While China remains a significant economic partner, Vietnam is also strengthening ties with countries like the United States and Japan to maintain geopolitical balance. Domestic events like this play a crucial role in fostering national unity and reinforcing the Party's legitimacy. Source: Nhan Dan
