From the early days of the country's founding with countless difficulties, wars, poverty, and division, to the renovation period in 1986, the period of deep integration into the global economy , Vietnam has always adhered to two strategic tasks: Protecting and building and developing the country. The exhibition clearly depicts two axes: From "Sword and Shield" - the symbol of national defense strength, to "Development creation, entrepreneurship and nation building" - the aspiration for sustainable, green, digital and humane development.

Along with the work of building, protecting and developing the country, the human factor is always considered important. With the spirit of “leaving no one behind”, social security policies, poverty reduction, public health, liberal and inclusive education are also shown through the exhibition spaces, affirming the central role of humans in all development directions.

Mr. Hoang Dang Hung, General Director of Rong Viet Media and Service Joint Stock Company - the main designer of the exhibition, affirmed: The exhibition not only talks about progressive steps, but also connects the past and the present in a coherent way. The images and stories about Uncle Ho, about leaders, revolutionary soldiers, scientists, artists, businessmen, farmers, etc. create a series of inspirational characters, each in their own way contributing to the construction of the country.

The display format of this exhibition is not simply panels and artifacts, but combines multiple layers of elements: light, sound, digital, high-tech projection, virtual reality, multimedia interaction... An exhibition that converges both the length of history and the depth of ideology, and the direction of national development.

Cultural spaces of ethnic groups, images of three regions, traditional and modern architecture, festival culture, and performing arts are also displayed with vivid and new storytelling. The presence of countries with special diplomatic relations is also an opportunity for Vietnam to affirm its position and expand cultural diplomacy.
