#national day

The Vietnamese Navy hosted a parade of armed forces at sea in Cam Ranh waters, Khanh Hoa province on the morning of September 2, at the same time as the grand celebration and parade in Hanoi to mark the 80th anniversary of National Day. 

The parade comprised military and police formations marching in unison across the historic square, accompanied by large-scale displays of weapons, equipment, aircraft, and naval vessels at sea, set to resounding military music under autumn skies filled with fluttering red flags and yellow stars.

The formations included the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF), representatives of the country’s 54 ethnic groups, war veterans, former public security officers, workers, farmers, intellectuals, the revolutionary press, entrepreneurs, women, overseas Vietnamese, youth, and representatives of culture and sports.

A full rehearsal for the military parade and procession celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 – August 19, 2025) and National Day (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025) took place at National Training Centre 4 in Hanoi on July 17, impressing spectators with a grand display of modern equipment and specialized vehicles from both the Army and Police forces.
