Attending the talk show were Secretary Party Committee, Director General of Vietnam Customs Nguyen Van Can; Deputy Directors General: Nguyen Duong Thai, Mai Xuan Thanh, Luu Manh Tuong; and 150 delegations representing units under the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

The talkshow was held to celebrate the 75th anniversary of establishment of Vietnam Customs (September 10, 1945 - September 10, 2020).

Vietnam Customs was established under Ordinance No. 27/SL by the Minister of Home Affairs Vo Nguyen Giap on behalf of the interim President of the Government signed on September 10, 1945, only eight days after President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This affirms the indispensable role of the Customs forces to the development history of the country.

Over 75 years of development, associated with the country's history of revolutionary struggles, Vietnam Customs has grown and matured in all aspects, always striving for the goal of "protecting the interests of national sovereignty".

Amid complex developments in the world political and economic situation and extensive international integration, Vietnam Customs has advised the Ministry of Finance and the Government on many effective solutions to implement State management policies in the field of customs, contributing to ensuring a healthy business environment as well as facilitating international trade. At the same time, the Customs force has played an important role in the fight against smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods, contributing to protecting economic security, social safety and the interests of consumers.
