Ba Ria – Vung Tau (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended a ceremony to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Binh Gia Victory (December 2, 1964 - 2024) organised by the Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the southern province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau, on December 2.
In the resistance war against the US, the Binh Gia campaign was carried out from December 2, 1964 to January 3, 1965 in Ba Ria, Long Khanh and Bien Hoa provinces and two districts in the south of Binh Thuan province. The victory of the Binh Gia campaign provided important conditions to defeat the enemy's strategies, leading to the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising with the historic victory of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign.
The success of the campaign was attributed to the creative application of the strategy of hitting key positions and destroying reinforcements, creating momentum and opportunities, and using appropriate forces to win key battles, leaving valuable experience for the following campaigns.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, PM Chinh highlighted the strategic significance of the Binh Gia victory, which helped affirm the development of the revolution in the South and created important premises for subsequent victories.
The Binh Gia victory left many lessons of great significance on the struggle for national independence and reunification in the past, and for the cause of national construction, defence and development today, he stressed.
He expressed his belief that the Party Committee, authorities, armed forces, and people of Ba Ria - Vung Tau will continue to uphold their proud revolutionary tradition and achievements to make breakthroughs and robust development, thus developing the province into a comprehensively developed locality, becoming one of the important development driving forces, and a bright spot in socio-economic development in the Southeast region and the country.
Earlier the same day, the PM and delegates offered flowers and paid tribute to heroic martyrs at the Binh Gia victory monument./.
