Scheduled from August 28 to September 5, 2025, at the National Exhibition Center in Hanoi's Dong Anh Commune, the exhibition will celebrate Vietnam’s transformation from wartime resilience to global integration and technological innovation over eight decades.
It will showcase achievements in industry, agriculture, national defense, diplomacy, education, and public health, the country's commitment to green growth, digital transformation, and creative industries, and the vibrancy of Vietnamese culture and ethnicity.
The exhibition features three zones: Kim Quy Pavilion with "Vietnam – Journey into a New Era," outdoor displays on sustainability, aerospace, defense, and an international hall on diplomacy and 12 cultural industries.
A combination of traditional and cutting-edge formats will be used, including 3D mapping, VR experiences, multimedia installations, and AI-powered interpretation tools.
