In the article "Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one", General Secretary To Lam affirmed that the moment the liberation flag flew on the roof of the Independence Palace at noon on April 30, 1975, went down in national history as a momentous event - the day the South was completely liberated, the country was unified, and the country was reunited. It was not only a great victory of the Vietnamese people in the difficult and arduous resistance war against the US to save the country, but also a shining symbol of revolutionary heroism, of the will for independence, self-reliance and the strength of great national unity.

The victory on April 30, 1975 not only marked the end of the longest and most fierce war in modern Vietnamese history, but also marked a brilliant milestone in the nation's journey of building and defending the country.

That is the victory of faith, of the aspiration for independence, freedom and national unification; the victory of the strength of great national unity under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam; the victory of the truth "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" and of the ardent patriotism, the eternal fighting will and indomitability of the Vietnamese people, of progressive forces and peace-loving people in the world.
