Building and developing the country along with protecting the country is a universal task of all countries. For thousands of years, Vietnam's history has been the history of building and defending the country. My country had to go through long years of war to defend the Fatherland. Whenever there is a foreign invasion of the country, the entire nation, millions of people as one, unites and fights tenaciously, wipes out the enemies from the land, preserves the integrity of the mountains and rivers, and wins the right to life, freedom and rights. Pursue happiness for the nation. The strength for our nation to overcome all difficulties is the spirit of great righteousness and kindness of a nation that always loves peace and is filial, friendly, and respectful of other nations.

The melodies of today’s artistic performances will bring forth a sense of joy stemming from cultural and traditional values of the peace-loving and compassionate Vietnamese nation. Such values have transcended time and space, and entwined with the quintessence of the culture of mankind, thereby bringing Viet Nam to the world, and bringing the world closer to Viet Nam.

It can be affirmed that the relationship between Vietnam and the US has never developed as well as it does today; from former enemies to comprehensive strategic partners. This is truly a model in the history of international relations in terms of healing and building post-war relations. This result is due to the joint efforts to overcome challenges, historical ups and downs of many generations of leaders and people of the two countries.
