The Vietnam People’s Army has always been the core force, joining the entire Party and people in achieving glorious victories in the struggle for national liberation and in building and defending the Fatherland.

Eighty years ago, on December 22, 1944, in Tran Hung Dao Forest (now in Tam Kim Commune, Nguyen Binh District, Cao Bang Province), the Vietnam Propaganda Unit for National Liberation officially held its founding ceremony under President Ho Chi Minh’s Directive.

December 22, 1944, was designated as the founding date of the Vietnam People’s Army.

As it has built its forces, fought, and matured, the Vietnam People’s Army has always been the core force, joining the entire Party and people in achieving glorious victories in the struggle for national liberation, independence, freedom and national reunification, and in building and defending the Fatherland.

“From the people, fighting for the people” embodies the very nature and the underlying principle of the Vietnam People’s Army’s development.
