Participants delivered heartfelt performances, showcasing songs and dances that honored Ho Chi Minh’s legacy, celebrated Vietnamese patriotism, and highlighted the enduring friendship and solidarity between Laos and Vietnam.
The event featured singing and dancing performances by Vietnamese people residing in the Lao PDR.

The celebration also drew crowds of Vientiane residents, public security and national defense personnel, and students.
An auction of Phat Tich Temple paintings, held alongside the contest, raised nearly 300 million kip for the Lao National Assembly’s Social Assistance Fund.
