On the occasion of the visit to Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago and DK1 Platform from April 18-23, in front of the sovereignty milestone and the national flag at Truong Sa Island, Working Delegation No. 4's members, soldiers and people conducted the flag-raising ceremony in a solemn and emotional atmosphere.
After Working Delegation No. 4 arrived on the island, soldiers, delegates and people living on the island in formal clothes quickly gathered and lined up neatly on the runway, next to the sovereignty landmark to attend the flag-rising ceremony.
On the sovereignty landmark, a young soldier, assigned to guard, stood solemnly while holding a rifle.
When the flag salute signal ended, everyone turned their eyes to the national flag and sang the heroic national anthem.
In the solemn atmosphere, where the waves are crashing around, in front of the national flag, the melody of the national anthem stirs everyone up with an indescribable emotion in every heartbeat.
Soldiers, overseas Vietnamese and people sang the Vietnamese National Anthem together, affirming the sacred sovereignty of the nation.
The 10 honorary oaths of soldiers resound loudly: "We, soldiers in the Vietnam People's Army, in honor of revolutionary soldiers, swear under the glorious flag of the country".
Next is the parade ceremony.
Every block of soldiers and forces stationed on the island performed the parade ceremony.
