The latest news on Vietnam. The country commemorated the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War on Wednesday with a large military parade in Ho Chi Minh City, featuring thousands of soldiers, an air show and international contingents.
The event, described as a celebration of national unity, reflected both historical remembrance and Vietnam's shifting geopolitical landscape. Alongside Vietnamese forces, Chinese troops joined the march, underlining growing ties despite past tensions.
Meanwhile, relations with the US, strengthened in recent decades, now face uncertainty due to proposed tariffs that could impact Vietnamese exports. For now, it remains to be seen how Vietnam balances these complex international relationships in the years ahead.
