Special stamp released to mark Vietnam’s 80th National Day
VOV.VN - Vietnam has just released a special postage stamp set to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the country’s National Day (September 2).

The souvenir block displays the National Emblem and a full map of Vietnam, including its maritime territories. The background features a bronze drum motif, symbolising Vietnam’s millennia-long cultural heritage.
The stamp measures 32 x 43 mm, the block 80 x 100 mm, with denominations of VND 4,000 and VND 19,000, respectively. Designed by artist Nguyen Du of Vietnam Post Corporation, the set is now available nationwide at provincial and central post offices from August 26, 2025, to June 30, 2027.
Beyond commemorating the historic birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the stamp set conveys gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, revolutionary predecessors, and millions of heroes and martyrs who sacrificed for national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. It also affirms that after 80 years of development, the Vietnamese people enjoy a better quality of life, the country continues to innovate and integrate globally, and it is confidently advancing into a new era of prosperity and development.
