General Luong Cuong, General Director of the General Politics Department, Nguyen Trong Nghia, Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Communications and Education, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, and the leaders of the Party, State, ministries, and 28 coastal localities attended the event.

The main stage on the land was connected with the deck of a naval ship, creating an impressive space. The program harmoniously combined art performances, reports, and discussions with guests to convey a message of Vietnam, a marine country with an eternal desire to conquer the sea, prosper from the sea, maintain peace at sea, and protect the sovereignty of the national sea and islands.
