This is the Vietnam Exhibition Center (in Hanoi), which will host the Exhibition “80 Years of Independence, Freedom and Happiness.” The exhibition will take place from August 28th to September 5th and promises to be on an unprecedented scale. This event is directed by the Prime Minister to be organized as a “national festival.”
The center will also host the groundbreaking and inauguration ceremonies of 80 large projects nationwide.
The Prime Minister has just signed Official Dispatch 129/CD-TTg, requesting ministries, sectors, and localities to urgently complete preparations for the groundbreaking and inauguration of 80 large projects nationwide on August 19, 2025, towards the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, September 2nd.
According to the plan, the event will continue the model of organizing 80 projects simultaneously in April 2025, with the main venue at the National Convention and Exhibition Center, connecting online to the remaining 79 locations nationwide.

The Vietnam Exhibition Center is a key project of great interest to the government. This project has also been directly inspected and directed by government leaders several times. Currently, the project is in the process of being urgently completed.
In the above Official Dispatch, the Ministry of Construction is assigned to coordinate with the Government Office and localities to build a script, a list of guests, and report to the Prime Minister before August 13th.
The Prime Minister emphasized that this is a special political and social event, not only to celebrate the National Day but also to demonstrate the spirit of self-reliance, self-improvement, and the country’s aspiration to rise. Localities and related units need to complete investment procedures, project acceptance, and ensure the progress of groundbreaking or inauguration on time.

Currently, there are 93 units constructing the exhibition. At the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism to work with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to urge state-owned enterprises and private enterprises to maximize construction, shorten the time, and ensure quality.
It is expected that on August 10th and the beginning of next week, units will construct simultaneously and continuously 24/7. The Deputy Prime Minister requested that the departments assign and divide tasks in the spirit of “6 on-the-spot” and that the sub-committees arrange for officers to be present at the Exhibition to ensure the best conditions for construction.

The Vietnam Exhibition Center project has an area of 90 hectares and a total investment of over VND 7,000 billion, invested by Vietnam Exhibition Fair Center Joint Stock Company (VEFAC), a subsidiary of Vingroup. After about 10 months of construction, the project has basically been completed and is ready to be inaugurated on August 19th, becoming the central point of the chain of events to celebrate the major holiday.
The Vietnam Exhibition Center project is not only a strategic infrastructure highlight of Hanoi but also a testament to the real capacity of Vietnamese private enterprises and especially the construction of a 24,000-ton giant steel dome.
According to the representative of Dai Dung, the contractor that completed the installation of the 24,000-ton dome in just 5 months, more than 1,000 workers and engineers had to work 24/24 hours, divided into 3 shifts, and mobilized maximum resources, materials, and super-heavy equipment. Some cranes have a capacity of up to 500 tons.
This giant dome is designed as a spatial truss with cross-heart trusses simulating turtle shell patterns. The dome uses ASTM standard steel capable of withstanding level 12 hurricanes and level 8 earthquakes. Notably, more than 100,000 high-strength steel bolts and screws were installed with a permitted error of less than 3mm, along with 3D laser scanning technology to control deformation and ensure absolute accuracy.

Built at breakneck speed with a large scale, the Vietnam Exhibition Center has become one of the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world. The center boasts a super-connected location, convenient transportation, and is expected to be an international destination for leading global trade fairs and exhibitions. When this project is put into operation, it will not only promote the development of the “Expo” economy but also create an environment and favorable conditions for enterprises to conduct exchanges, promote and promote trade.
