Outstanding events celebrating the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu victory

The historic victory of Dien Bien Phu was a momentous event, not only significant to the Vietnamese Revolution, but also became an immortal heroic epic that urged national liberation movements, marking the collapse of old colonialism around the world, as President Ho Chi Minh affirmed: “It was a great victory of our people, but also a common victory of all oppressed peoples in the world. The victory of Dien Bien Phu further illuminates the truth of Marxism-Leninism in today's era: The imperialist war of aggression is bound to fail, the liberation revolution of the peoples is bound to succeed”.

The historic victory of Dien Bien Phu is the crystallization of the invincible strength of the great national unity bloc, the victory of justice, of the people's hearts, of conscience and human dignity, led by the correct and creative revolutionary line; originating from the wise and talented leadership of the Party and beloved Uncle Ho, from the tradition of ardent patriotism and the spirit of solidarity that has been forged over thousands of years of history, highly promoted by the Vietnamese people of all ethnic groups across the country, wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly devoting their efforts, unanimously contributing human and material resources to the Campaign.

In particular, directly contributing to the victory were the great contributions and sacrifices of the heroic Vietnam People's Army - an army "born from the People, fighting for the People" with over 40,000 officers and soldiers participating in the Dien Bien Phu campaign. The examples of brave fighting and heroic sacrifice on the battlefield are vivid evidence of Vietnamese revolutionary heroism and absolute loyalty to the Party, the Fatherland and the People.
