00:22And this also is happening as well, as we can see today in Beijing, in Hanoi, at this hour, the capital of Vietnam.
00:33Also, as part of the celebrations for this event on August 15th, the capital city hosted also an art show named Hanoi from the historic autumn of 1945

01:29to the building of a prosperous, beautiful, civilized capital, stepping into a new era.
01:36We are seeing at this moment a new era for the people of Vietnam in a capital, Hanoi, as well, that is at this moment embellished, developed.
01:45And thanks to what stood to the resilience of the people of Vietnam, also the support that the country has received from many nations worldwide
01:53that admire the feat that was achieved by the Vietnamese people, that in just 80 years have been going through so many struggles,
02:03but also have had the power to overcome all of those difficulties, all of those circumstances,
02:09with determination, with independence, with defending the right to their self-determination.
02:17And this is an example for sure for the peoples of the world that are facing at this moment actions and harassment
02:27and hostilities from powerful nations that are facing as well unilateral sanctions.
02:34Vietnam is the proof that it's possible to build a better future with self-determination, with strength and with unity.
02:41And this is a deployment of this, all of their achievements in this context,
02:49after battling, after many sacrifices, after many years of uncertainty, of pain as well, of sorrow,
03:02but that transformed into a resilient society that was capable and is capable now
03:09of showing all of their strength through this emotional and very moving massive parade as well.

04:46with also strength and with also this military parade that is showing
04:52that the people of Vietnam is also willing to keep defending the nation

05:02And at the same time, it is also saying that it is supporting as well
05:07the good causes, the just causes of the world.
05:11And this was possible thanks as well to the capacity of the nation
05:17of developing in the midst of the most complex scenarios
05:25and the most brutal actions that any faced with the attack
05:34of these imperialist powers against the nation,
05:38like it was the colonial empire of French,
05:42and also afterwards the actions of the United States as well in the country.
05:48This was possible as well along its impressive economic growth
05:53over recent decades,
05:55and this was also not worthy

06:40and is a clear testament to the resilience,
06:45to the innovation,
06:47to the solidarity of the Vietnamese people
06:50as the country as well has risen from hardships
06:54to become a modern dynamic
06:56and a promising nation.
07:00Let's recall as well that Vietnam has forged a wide network
07:03of regional trade relations
07:06from multiple free trade agreements,
07:09including agreements with Australia and other nations worldwide.
