Vietnam Marks August Revolution Day
Many cultural activities to mark the 56th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2) are being held across the country. This is aimed at disseminating information on Vietnamese revolutionary tradition and the country's achievements recorded during 56 years of national construction, particularly in the national renovation process.
The departments of culture and information of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other cities and provinces have held many art performances. They also displayed panels, posters and slogans on the national revolutionary tradition, the national construction and disseminated information on the results of the Ninth Party Congress.
In Hanoi, the Vietnam Revolutionary Museum opened a showroom entitled '56 Years of National Construction and Defence under President Ho Chi Minh's Path.' The Ho Chi Minh, Army, Fine Arts, History and Ethnology museums also opened display rooms with new exhibits and artefacts.
Many art troupes organised new programmes. Vietnamese films are being screened in cinemas to serve all people, including those in remote and far-flung areas.
Radio and television stations have organised television singing contests. Many art and sports activities have been held in mountainous provinces, attracting many local people's participation.
