It was held by the central steering committee for the celebration of Vietnam's major holidays and important historical events for 2023-25 at the Dien Bien Stadium.

Attending the event were Nguyen Trong Nghia, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, and many other central and provincial officials.

The rehearsal program featured a flag-hoisting ceremony, drum performances, artistic presentations, and the announcement of decisions on recipients of orders and commendations. Its highlight was a military parade involving over 12,000 participants, including those from the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Public Security, and Dien Bien province.

Nghia, who is also permanent Deputy head of the steering committee, stresses the importance of maintaining security and order, while ensuring the satisfaction of both domestic and international follow-up.

He asked units involved to efficiently manage reception work and other activities during the celebration.

After the official rehearsal, a grand military parade will take place on the morning of May 7.
