Macau (VNA)♐ – The Vietnamese Association in Macau, China’s special administrative region, held a solemn ceremony on September 7 to mark the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945–2025) and National Day (September 2, 1945 – 2025).
The event drew representatives from the local government, consular corps, the Vietnamese community in Macau, and leaders of the Vietnamese Association in Hong Kong (China).
Speaking at the ceremony, Consul General of Vietnam in Hong Kong and Macau Le Duc Hanh recalled the historic moment of September 2, 1945, when President Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Declaration of Independence, founding the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. She expressed gratitude to generations of revolutionaries, soldiers, and citizens who sacrificed for national independence, freedom, and reunification.
The Consul General emphasised that the association’s activities have strengthened unity, fostered patriotism, and carried forward the national tradition of building and defending the country. She also informed participants of the Party and State’s plan to streamline overseas community organisations. Accordingly, the Vietnamese Association in Macau will reorganise its sub-associations into 34, corresponding to the 34 provinces and cities in Vietnam after mergers to operate more effectively.
Despite being small in number, the Vietnamese community in Macau has supported one another in business and daily life, contributing to both their homeland and local society, Hanh noted. She urged the community to comply with local laws, remain vigilant against fraud, and use their income sustainably for family stability.
Duong Trung Duc, Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Macau, said the celebration not only honours Vietnam’s historic milestones but also strengthens bonds within the community. He hoped the association would serve as a “common home” for building unity and promoting the image of Vietnam in Macau.
