To celebrate this year's International Children's Day, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology held "Children's Day: Learn cultural heritage with kids" on May 27- 28. The event created a space for families to bond and learn about Vietnamese culture through fun activities.
At the event, children and their parents participated in the 'heritage discovery journey' through fun activities, such as playing and learning about musical instruments, practicing folk songs, and playing folk games.

On the morning of March 15, amid the solemn and vibrant atmosphere of the nationwide festival in which citizens participated in the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term, touching scenes were witnessed in Yen Lang Commune (Hanoi) as elderly voters leaned on canes to make their way to polling stations, leaving a deep impression on election officials and local residents.
Brilliant red flags with yellow stars line many streets, campaign posters appear across residential areas, and a wide range of communication activities are being carried out on digital platforms - these are familiar images in the days leading up to the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term in Vietnam, as observed by many international friends.
The election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and to People’s Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term is a major political event of the country. It demonstrates the people’s mastery, affirming the nature of the socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, and for the people.

To further clarify this matter, VietnamTimes Magazine interviewed Lo Xuan Hoa, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee of the commune.
