In his concluding remarks, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, Senior Lieutenant General Tran Quang Phuong, Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for the 80th Anniversary of the First General Election to elect the Vietnamese National Assembly, Head of the Organizing Committee for the song composition campaign about the National Assembly and People's Council, stated: The campaign aims to select outstanding musical works, deeply depicting the role and sacred mission of the National Assembly and People's Council in the cause of national liberation, defending the Fatherland, building and developing the country, creating a solid foundation for our country to enter a new era - "The era of national prosperity and prosperity"; at the same time, contributing to improving the quality and effectiveness of information and propaganda work on the activities of elected bodies.

According to Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong, this is the second time the songwriting campaign on the theme of the National Assembly has been successfully organized, following the success of the campaign in 2015 on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Vietnamese National Assembly.

Composing about elected bodies is a challenge, requiring deep understanding and a talented pen. However, the brilliant golden pages of the 80-year history of the Vietnamese National Assembly, along with the strong and vibrant innovations in the activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils in recent times, especially the trust and great expectations of the people, have become a rich source of inspiration for musicians to create beautiful melodies and heroic songs about the National Assembly and People's Councils.

A clear proof of that is the extremely meaningful result, after more than 10 months of launching (from February 27, 2024 to December 10, 2024), the Organizing Committee has received 672 dedicated works from nearly 400 musicians from all over the country. This number shows the deep interest of artists in particular and the entire masses in general in the activities of elected agencies. It is valuable that some members of the Evaluation Council have participated in composing in response to this campaign. This is also a campaign that has received a large number of participating works and is rich in genres compared to other songwriting campaigns in the past.

The Judging Council, consisting of famous and prestigious musicians, worked impartially and objectively, through two preliminary and final rounds, selecting 33 excellent works for the Organizing Committee to consider awarding prizes. The works not only adhered to the theme, but were also diverse in musical style with richly visual lyrics, deeply expressing the role of the National Assembly and the People's Council in the cause of building a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people. The majestic and emotional melodies reflected the people's pride and trust in the National Assembly of Vietnam and its elected representatives.

The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly highly appreciated the efforts of the National Assembly Office and the Vietnam Musicians Association in proactively coordinating closely with relevant agencies and units to successfully organize the Campaign; and appreciated the spirit of serious artistic work, responsibility and high determination of many artists across the country who actively participated in responding and composing good and valuable works about the National Assembly and People's Councils.

“These songs will create a strong spread in society, live forever in the hearts of voters and people nationwide, and serve as the basis for building the art program “Glory of the Vietnamese National Assembly” to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the first general election to elect the Vietnamese National Assembly,” Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong emphasized.

At the ceremony, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man and Vice Chairman Tran Quang Phuong awarded trophies and certificates to 5 authors and groups of authors who won B prize.
