66 years ago, Vietnam became famous throughout the world for the Dien Bien Phu Victory which “resounded throughout the five continents and was world-shaking”. The Dien Bien Phu Victory on May 7, 1954 is considered a “golden milestone” in the country’s history of national construction and protection, and expressed the Vietnamese people’s courage, wisdom, and invincible strength under Ho Chi Minh.
The project to conserve and improve the special national relic site of the Dien Bien Phu Victory until 2030 has recently been approved by the People’s Committee of the northern province of Dien Bien.
President Ho Chi Minh was the supreme commander of the historic Dien Bien Phu Campaign. Throughout the campaign, he chaired and attended many meetings of the Politburo to assess the situation on the battlefield and give instructions to the battling forces. He did this not only at Dien Bien Phu, but on other battlegrounds across the country to gain the victory at Dien Bien Phu.
