National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man attended an award ceremony for a nationwide songwriting campaign dedicated to the NA and People’s Councils in Hanoi on June 26, part of the activities in the lead-up to the 80th anniversary of the country’s first general election (January 6, 1946).
The songwriting campaign attracted 672 entries from nearly 400 composers nationwide, showcasing widespread public engagement and artistic enthusiasm.
According to Senior Lieutenant General Tran Quang Phuong, NA Vice Chairman and head of the organising committee, the campaign sought works that capture the sacred mission of Vietnam’s people-elected agencies which have led the nation through resistance wars, development periods, and now towards a prosperous era.
