the National Convention Centre in Hanoi by the Party Central Committee’s
Commission for Information and Education and the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) in
celebration of the 13th National Party Congress.
Those present at the opening ceremony included Politburo member and
permanent member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Quoc Vuong; Politburo
member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chairman of its Commission
for Information and Education Vo Van Thuong; Secretary of the Party Central
Committee, President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, and
Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Theoretical Council Nguyen Xuan
Thang; member of the Party Central Committee and Minister of Information and
Communications Nguyen Manh Hung.
On display are 100 big-sized black & white and colour photos selected
from tens of thousands of images in VNA’s archives.
They provide a comprehensive view of the country’s major successes and
achievements during the glorious struggle against foreign invaders and national
construction and safeguarding under the Communist Party of Vietnam’s leadership
over the last 91 years, since the Party was founded on February 3, 1930.
In the past 12 tenures, the Party has led Vietnam’s revolution in weathering
countless harsh difficulties and challenges and posting great victories to gain
national independence, freedom, reunification, and development.
Some of the outstanding exhibits capture images of Vietnam’s revolution
between the first and second congresses (1935-1951), such as the Nghe-Tinh
Soviet Movement in 1930-1931; the revolutionary movement to fight for people’s
welfare and democracy in 1936-1939; the foundation of the Vietnam Propaganda
Liberation Army (now the Vietnam People’s Army) on December 22, 1944; the
August Revolution in 1945 and President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of
Independence on September 2 of the same year to establish the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam).
They also include photos of memorable moments in the period from after
the second congress, in the resistance war against French colonialists; and the
“globe-shaking” victory of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign against France in 1954; the
fight against US imperialists in the south as well as socialism building
efforts in the north, like the “Dong Khoi” (simultaneous uprising) in Ben Tre
in 1960, the General Offensive and Uprising in the spring of 1968, the “Hanoi -
Dien Bien Phu in the Air” victory in December 1972, and the General Offensive
and Uprising in the spring of 1975, with the peak being the Ho Chi Minh
Campaign, which completely liberated the south and reunified the country.
Since reunification, VNA reporters have taken countless vivid images of
brave, undaunted, industrious, and creative Vietnamese people overcoming
hardships to carry out the “Doi Moi” (Renewal) policy issued at the sixth
congress in 1986 and to integrate into the world.
Other highlights of the exhibition are photos of the country’s
achievements during the Party’s 12th tenure (2016-2021), including
in national industrialisation and modernisation, improvements to living
standards, the enhancement of people’s trust in the Party’s leadership, the
COVID-19 fight, and bilateral and multilateral diplomatic activities.
The exhibition will last through February 2, 2021.
