Gala 'Peaceful Homeland' held in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City hosted the 'Peaceful Homeland' art program on the evening of June 13, 2026. Organized by the Ministry of Public Security in conjunction with the city's People's Committee, the event took place on Nguyen Hue walking street.

The gala served as a significant activity within a special series commemorating key anniversaries. These include the 78th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's "Call for Patriotic Emulation," the 50th anniversary of Saigon - Gia Dinh City being named after President Ho Chi Minh, and the upcoming 80th anniversary of the People's Public Security forces' traditional day.

The program conveyed a message about the value of peace, highlighting that this seemingly ordinary state is the result of daily efforts by the security forces to protect national security and order. Despite the rain, the event proceeded as scheduled at 8:10 PM and was broadcast live on multiple television channels and digital platforms.

Attendees included high-ranking officials such as Nguyen Van Nen, former Politburo member and former Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, and Lieutenant General Pham The Tung, member of the Central Party Committee and Deputy Minister of Public Security. The event also honored heroes of the People's Public Security forces. Musical performances, including songs like "Peaceful Life" and "The Country Full of Joy," along with artistic depictions of intelligence officers' achievements and the development of Ho Chi Minh City, were featured. The gala concluded with a medley of "Voluntary" and "Hope."
