After national reunification, in February 1977, the Vietnam National United Front (VNUF) decided to merge the three organizations of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the National Liberation Front for South Vietnam and the Alliance of National, Democratic and Peace Forces of Vietnam, into a common agency called Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF).

Vietnam Fatherland Front is a political coalition organization, a voluntary union of political organizations, socio-political organizations, social organizations and individuals representing all classes, social strata, ethnic groups, religions and overseas Vietnamese.

Since then, the VFF has been the gathering place for all people to build a rule-of-law state with movements such as, poverty reduction and gratitude repayment, “All people unite to build a cultural life in residential areas”, the campaign "Day for the poor", the movement "The whole country joins hands for the poor so that no one is left behind" and the campaign "Vietnamese prioritize using Vietnamese goods".

A grand ceremony was held in Hanoi on November 18 to mark the 90th anniversary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF).

“During the past 90 years, under the leadership of the Party, the Vietnam National United Front  has worked hard to arouse the spirit of patriotism, unleash the great strength of the nation, combine the strength of the nation, with the power of the times, contributing to bringing the Vietnamese revolutionary boat from victory to victory". Party General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong addressed the grand ceremony to mark the 90th anniversary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front on November 18.

In order to meet the development requirements of the country in a new stage, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has set out key tasks. Accordingly, the Fronts at all levels continue to grasp the Party's viewpoints and Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on great national solidarity, continue to encourage the people to promote patriotic traditions and national pride, a sense of self-reliance, and the aspiration to build a developing country. In the immediate future, the Front will work together with the Party and State to overcome the difficulties and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, overcoming the damage caused by floods and storms, contributing to ensuring social security and taking better care of the quality and spirit of the people and socio-economic development.

The Front's activities will continue to be strongly oriented towards residential areas and to step up patriotic emulation campaigns and movements to meet the people's aspirations and solve practical problems. The Front also aims at improving the quality of the campaign, "All people unite to build new rural areas and civilized cities”, the campaign "Vietnamese prioritize using Vietnamese goods" and the movement "Unite for creativity, to raise high productivity, quality, efficiency and international integration”.
