The celebration took place in the afternoon, opening with a solemn flag-raising ceremony. In particular, all officers and employees listened to a congratulatory letter from Major General Pham Manh Thang, Director of the Vietnam Peacekeeping Department. The letter not only conveyed pride but also encouraged the soldiers' spirit, encouraging them to continue to promote their role as ambassadors of peace and Vietnamese culture in the international arena.

International commanders and representatives of units stationed at the base also sent meaningful congratulations to BVD 2.6. Unity-Sector Commander - Brigadier General William Ryarasa shared: "You not only represent a professional army but also the image of a peace-loving, resilient and responsible nation. We are extremely honored to share the joy on this anniversary."

After the celebration, BVDC 2.6 held an intimate dinner party with the participation of international friends and other units in the base. Traditional dishes such as pho, fried spring rolls, banh chung and sweet soup were carefully prepared, bringing a culinary experience imbued with Vietnamese identity.

The party was not only an opportunity for exchange and connection, but also an opportunity to promote the image of the country, people and the Vietnamese Army. International friends expressed their love for Vietnamese cuisine and culture, and gave many compliments to the hospitality and enthusiasm of the Vietnamese blue beret soldiers.
