Entitled 'Glorious Uncle Ho's Soldiers', the programme connected five historical sites:Tran Hung Dao Wood in northern Cao Bang province, Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, Bao Ninh Sea Square in Quang Ninh province, War Zone D Relic in Dong Nai southern province and Thang Nhat Hall in Ho Chi Minh City.
The 150-minute programme featured the stages of development and maturity of the People's Army of Vietnam through three chapters: 'The army sourced from the people', 'The army fight for the people' and 'The army of peace'.
The event gathered together more than 400 artists and history witnesses who put on artistic performances praising the country and people and recalled touching stories about soldiers during the two resistance wars in the past.
During the programme, 12 video clips were screened which recorded images of history witnesses, leaders of the Party and State, senior military officers and generals as well as valuable domestic and foreign images and documents shown for the first time.
The event was a special political event to recall the glorious history and feats of the People's Army over the past 70 years and to boost the national pride and patriotism of the Vietnamese people.
