On the occasion of the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam and to congratulate the success of the 14th National Congress of the Party, the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Society (CVFS) organized a seminar in a hybrid format, combining in-person and online participation. The event aimed to introduce and clarify the significance and outstanding outcomes of the 14th National Congress, Vietnam’s recent development achievements, as well as the strategic objectives for the 2026-2030 period and the vision toward 2045.

Philip Fernandez from the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Society assessed that the April 30, 1975 victory was the beginning of Vietnam's successes and opened up Vietnam's proud results in many fields.
