The rehearsal held at the National Military Training Center 4 was conducted and overseen by General Nguyen Tan Cuong, Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army and Deputy Minister of National Defense.
The massive military parade rehearsal was divided into two parts, including the first, focused on Party and State rituals and ceremonies carried out by the Ministry of National Defense; the second part featuring coordinated parades performed by the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security.
According to General Nguyen Tan Cuong, following the completion of the basic training phase at their units, starting from June 5, participating forces were mobilized to designated training zones. The deployment of large numbers of personnel, along with weapons, equipment, supplies, and vehicles, complies with absolute safety protocols.
After more than a month of training, the participating officers and soldiers have demonstrated exceptional effort and determination in overcoming numerous challenges, particularly the harsh weather conditions. Despite the demanding climate, they have remained committed to high-intensity practice.
General Nguyen Tan Cuong emphasized that the soldiers’ tireless, passionate, and highly disciplined efforts on the training grounds in recent days serve as the most vivid and compelling testament to their wholehearted dedication to this momentous national event.
