Launching the national walking program "Moving forward with Vietnam"

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025), National Day September 2 and Traditional Day of the People's Public Security (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025), Nhan Dan Newspaper coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security to launch the national walking program "Moving Forward with Vietnam".

From July 25 to August 16, 2025, people across the country can register online and walk every day, contributing to the journey of “1 billion steps towards a new era” - a practical activity that shows patriotism, reduces carbon emissions and moves towards the country's Net Zero goal.

From 6:00 to 7:30 a.m. on August 16, 2025, in 34 provinces and cities with 3,321 communes, wards and administrative zones, people will simultaneously wear red shirts with yellow stars, sing the national anthem and march together for a united, strong and sustainable Vietnam. This is the first time a walking event has been organized on a national scale on the same day, at the same time.

The program is expected to mobilize the collective strength of millions of people across the country to join in walking, marking 1 billion steps for the health, solidarity and aspiration of a nation that is strongly transforming in the new era.

The program contributes to spreading confidence, pride, and practically celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, National Day September 2 and Traditional Day of the Vietnam People's Public Security.

With the simultaneous participation of 34 provinces and cities, the program has become a bridge connecting the central to local levels, from urban to rural areas. Each locality contributes its strength to create a united, united Vietnam, moving forward into the future, responding to the campaign "All people exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho" and the movement "Healthy to build and protect the Fatherland."

Within the framework of the activity, the police force of communes and wards will directly visit each household in 34 provinces and cities to propagate and support people to register to participate.

The program contributes to building the habit of walking - a practical way for the community to reduce CO2 emissions together, concretizing the commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 in the spirit of COP26 - for a sustainable Vietnam.

“Moving forward with Vietnam - 1 billion steps into a new era” is a nationwide walking activity, co-organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper and the Ministry of Public Security. Accompanying brand - Vietcombank./ .
