Delegates attending the program.

Attending the program were Comrade Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Comrade Cao Thi Hoa An, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council; Comrade Do Huu Huy, Alternate Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Comrade Huynh Thi Chien Hoa, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Comrade Yi Giang Gry Nie Knong, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province; former provincial leaders through the periods; leaders of provincial departments, agencies and units, together with the people and members of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.  

The performances were elaborately staged to recreate the historic Buon Ma Thuot victory of 51 years ago.  

In Chapter I, titled Heroic March of the Historic March, the majestic musical space carried the audience back in time to 51 years earlier. Exactly 51 years ago, on March 10, 1975, after fierce hours of combat on the vast red basalt land where mountain town echoes of gongs resonated amid smoke and fire, the Buon Ma Thuot Victory launched the Central Highlands Campaign, creating a strategic turning point for the 1975 Spring General Offensive and leading the nation to final victory.  

Chapter II - Radiant National Festival brought a youthful, modern vitality as a prelude to the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and the election of deputies to the People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term.  

Continuing the emotional thread, Chapter II of the program, titled Radiant National Festival, delivered a youthful, modern surge of energy. From the heroic spirit of that March, Dak Lak has gone through more than half a century of construction and development. The victory is not only a memory but has become a driving force, a source of faith that forges the determination of the Provincial Party Committee, the authorities and the multi-ethnic people in the area.

In the rhythm of peace and renovation, that spirit of solidarity continues to be affirmed in a major political event of the country - the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and the election of deputies to the People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term. This is a particularly important political event, not only the right and duty of voters but also a vivid expression of trust, of aspiration for development and responsibility for the future – where each ballot entrusts confidence in sustainable, prosperous and civilized development.

Dak Lak carries the pride of the past, the momentum of the present and firm confidence in the future – a future of unity, innovation and aspiration to rise.

Before the national festival, the epic of old continued to resonate in the dynamic life and determination to build Dak Lak rich in identity, sustainably developed and deeply integrated. In step with the nation’s new era of development, Dak Lak carries the pride of the past, the momentum of the present and firm confidence in the future – a future of unity, innovation and aspiration to rise.
