The program, jointly organized by the Nhân Dân Newspaper and the Ministry of Public Security, was simultaneously held in 34 provinces and cities, as well as in 3,321 communes, wards, and special zones nationwide. Comrade Lê Thành Đô, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, attended the program in Điện Biên.

At 6 a.m., all delegates and participants performed the flag-raising ceremony and sang the National Anthem in sync with the National Flag Hoisting Ceremony at the Ba Đình Square in Hanoi. The solemn and sacred atmosphere reflected patriotism and national pride.

Following the flag-raising ceremony, delegates and participants started from the Điện Biên Phủ ward Square and walked a 2-kilometer route to Võ Thị Sáu Park in an enthusiastic and united spirit.

The program was a meaningful activity to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and National Day on September 2; the 80th anniversary of the People’s Public Security Force (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025); and the 20th anniversary of the All-People’s Day for National Security Protection. It helped inspire patriotism, solidarity, and the aspiration for development of the Vietnamese people in the new era.

The program also encouraged the nationwide movement of practicing sports, in response to the campaign “All people exercise following the example of the great President Hồ Chí Minh” and the movement “Be healthy to build and defend the Fatherland.” At the same time, it promoted daily walking as a positive habit that contributes to reducing carbon emissions and moving towards the country’s Net Zero target.
