Historic Military Parade in Hanoi
This week, as China garners global attention with its elaborate military parade, Vietnam is making headlines of its own. The country is demonstrating its commitment to enhancing its armed forces and defense capabilities.
In preparation for its 80th National Day, over 16,000 troops have engaged in weeks of rehearsals in Hanoi. The event drew massive crowds, with many people camping overnight for the chance to witness soldiers performing heart-shaped hand gestures and other lively displays. The parade was thoughtfully choreographed to evoke national pride in the Communist Party.
