Various activities toward millennium of Thang Long - Hanoi
As there are only four days left to the 1,000th
anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi, a series of activities will take place in
Hanoi and some large provinces and cities to mark a millennium of struggle for
national independence and freedom, promote relations with international friends
and increase the capital city’s position.
In Ho Chi Minh City, a music performance was jointly held by the Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism and Bong Sen Song and Dance Theatre, marking the
millennium of Thang Long – Hanoi with theme “Ho Chi Minh City towards the 1,000
anniversary of Thang Long – Hanoi” at 23 September Park on September 25.
The performance also aimed to welcome the 9th Ho Chi Minh City Party Congress.
In Hanoi, police on September 25 implemented a manoeuvre to ensure political and
social security and measures to fight fire.
Deputy Prime Minister Truong Vinh Trong and leaders of the Ministry of Public
Security attended the manoeuvre.
Police determine to ensure safety of the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long –
Hanoi as well as the 10th National Party Congress of the Communist Party of
Vietnam and other events in Hanoi.
Following UNESCO’s recognition of the 82 laureate steles from the Le-Mac
dynasties in the Temple of Literature as world culture heritage, the Thang Long
Imperial Citadel has also recently been recognised by UNESCO.
The 10-day anniversary celebration will bring together many politicians,
cultural activists and scientists from across the country and foreign visitors.
A ceremony will open the festival in the morning of October 1 at the Ly Thai To
Garden. The celebrations will conclude with a meeting and a march and parade at
the Ba Dinh Square on October 10.
