Reunification Day, also known as Liberation Day or Reunification Day, is observed in Vietnam on April 30th. It commemorates the fall of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) on April 30, 1975, and the reunification of North and South Vietnam, effectively ending the Vietnam War.
On this day in 1975, North Vietnamese forces captured the city of Saigon, which had been the capital of South Vietnam. The fall of Saigon marked the conclusion of the Vietnam War, resulting in the reunification of Vietnam under the government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Reunification Day is a significant national holiday in Vietnam, observed with various ceremonies, parades, and cultural events across the country. It is a time for reflection on the sacrifices made during the war and the struggles endured by the Vietnamese people for national independence and reunification.
The holiday also celebrates the achievements of the Vietnamese people in rebuilding their country and working towards national unity, peace, and development in the post-war era. Reunification Day is an occasion for patriotism, pride, and remembrance, as well as a symbol of hope for a brighter future for Vietnam.
