The flag-raising ceremony took place at the sacred space of Ho Chi Minh Square and the Statue of Uncle Ho, featuring the flag salute and incense offering in honour of President Ho Chi Minh in a moving and solemn atmosphere.

This is the first time Nghe An has held a large-scale, great flag flying event to celebrate Uncle Ho’s birthday.

In particular, during the ceremony, two hot air balloons carrying the massive 2,025 square metres national flag were flown in the sky above Vinh City, creating a sacred moment that expressed deep respect, pride, and heartfelt gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, the great leader of the Vietnamese nation.

It is also the first time Nghe An has combined the flying of the great national flag with a flag-raising ceremony on such a scale during President Ho Chi Minh’s birthday, demonstrating a special tribute and honour for him.

The event also aimed to promote patriotism and inspire a sense of unity and responsibility among society, especially the younger generation, in the cause of national construction and defence.

The ceremony was one of Nghe An Province’s key events during the historic month of May, contributing to spreading the sacred affection of the homeland for the beloved leader and further fostering faith and aspirations for a prosperous and civilised Nghe An.
