Hanoi Metro increased train frequency and extended hours, with Ha Dong line seeing a 33% rise and Nhon–Hanoi Station a 67% increase, supporting large crowds for Vietnam's 80th National Day.
- Vietnam marked its National Day on Tuesday with its largest military parade in decades, featuring tanks, artillery guns, amphibious vehicles and missile systems made by a Vietnamese company, as well as a naval parade off the coast of Cam Ranh city.
- The parade unfolded at Ba Dinh Square, where revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh declared independence from French colonial rule on Sept. 2, 1945, after years of conflict that ended with Communist forces capturing Saigon in 1975.
- Since opening its economy in the late 1980s, Vietnam has become a manufacturing hub for global brands like Samsung and Nike, with poverty dropping and the middle class growing rapidly, though it faces challenges balancing growth, reforms, aging demographics, climate risks, and relations with powers like China and the U.S.
