In 2025, Vietnam marked 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War, which concluded with the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. This historic event, known in Vietnam as the “Day of Southern Liberation for National Reunification,” symbolized the unification of North and South Vietnam. The 50th anniversary celebrations were held with significant fanfare, including military parades, an air show, and participation from international allies and observers. The commemoration honoured the sacrifices made during the 20-year-long conflict and reflected Vietnam's growing stature in global diplomacy and defence.
