On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence he drafted, solemnly announcing to the whole world the birth of a new State: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam - now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
78 years have passed, but President Ho Chi Minh's Declaration of Independence is like an immortal heroic epic, living forever in the hearts of the Vietnamese people.
His thoughts and views in the Declaration of Independence on national and human rights, on the aspiration and spirit of resolute struggle to maintain independence and freedom always have a particularly profound meaning in the current cause of national construction and protection.
The rebirth of a nation, a people
According to Prof. Dr. Vu Minh Giang, Vice President of the Vietnam Historical Science Association, Chairman of the Science and Training Council (Hanoi National University), the greatest significance of the Declaration is the declaration to the world about the rebirth of a nation, a people.
President Ho Chi Minh firmly affirmed at Ba Dinh Square that: "Vietnam has the right to enjoy freedom and independence. And in fact it has become a free and independent country. The entire Vietnamese people are determined to devote all their spirit and strength, their lives and property, to maintaining that freedom and independence."
For nearly 80 years, faithful to the oath of independence, the entire Vietnamese people have gone through the resistance war against French colonialism, from 60 days of sacrificing for the survival of the Fatherland, to the decisive battle at Dien Bien Phu battlefield for 56 days and nights, with enormous sacrifices, but in the end we overcame all difficulties to gain great victory.
The whole country united, keeping the oath resounding at Ba Dinh Square on September 2nd of that year, devoting all its spirit and strength, lives and property to maintain the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
  Further analyzing the historical value of the Declaration of Independence, Mr. Vu Minh Giang said that in the country's motto, there is the phrase Independence - Freedom - Happiness, which is the goal of the revolution and also the wish of every citizen. Freedom - Happiness is the goal set for the revolution and also the wish of the people.
It can be said that, throughout the journey from 1975 to now, we have taken an unprecedented step in history. That is, the people's lives are guaranteed freedom and happiness.
With concise, strong text and tight arguments that touch people's hearts, the Declaration of Independence is a solid legal basis, not only having historical value that strongly affirms the national sovereignty of the Vietnamese people before the whole world, but also having profound contemporary significance, opening a new era for our nation on the path of development today.
Vietnam has gradually overcome difficulties.
According to Professor Vu Minh Giang, from the first day of independence on September 2, 1945 to the present, each period has left milestones in the development of the nation, the period of seizing power, the period of resistance to unify the country or the period of innovation, especially in recent years the whole world has faced the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic and we have successfully prevented it.
The 13th National Party Congress took place during the pandemic, but we still organized it very successfully!
It can be said that after a difficult, complicated period with many events in the international arena, Vietnam has gradually overcome difficulties and overcome the pandemic. Up to now, we have maintained social stability and economic growth.
And the image of Hanoi Capital these days, resplendent with flags, banners, and slogans celebrating the 78th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2nd, is the clearest proof that the spirit of the Declaration of Independence still lives forever in the hearts of generations of Vietnamese people, not only because of its historical and legal value but also because of its noble humanistic value of human rights, the right of the nation to live in independence and freedom as President Ho Chi Minh cherished and devoted his whole life to realizing.
