The National Achievements Exhibition, celebrating the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day, was held under the theme “80 Years of the Journey to Independence - Freedom - Happiness”, from August 28 to September 15, 2025, at the Vietnam Exposition Center in Hanoi’s Dong Anh commune.

As part of the National Achievements Exhibition, the exhibition space of the Ministry of Education and Training, themed “80 Years of Achievements in Education and Training”, and the “Creativity for Development” zone by the department of publishing, printing and distribution, serve as key highlights of national importance.

These areas affirm the crucial role and historical mission of both the education and publishing sectors in nation-building, defense, and global integration.

Located at Hall 1, the Ministry of Education and Training’s 396 sqm exhibition space vividly and objectively reflects the 80-year journey of Vietnam’s education system, aligned with the country’s history of development under the leadership of the Party and the State.

In this space, products from VEPH represent key milestones in the country’s educational development, through four major historical periods: before August 1945-1954, 1954-1975, 1975-1986, and from 1986 to the present.

Meanwhile, the “Creativity for Development” zone, organized by the department of publishing, printing and distribution, is one of the 12 exhibition spaces highlighting Vietnam's cultural industries.

The “Vietnamese Publishing: 80 Years of Development and Integration” area features four sub-sections, namely Sector Overview, Publishing, Printing and Distribution. In sub-section 2 (Publishing), VEPH is honored to present its own independent exhibition booth.
