Quang Tri artistic programme honours fallen soldiers, desire for peace

A special arts program was organized in the evening of August 11 in the central province of Quang Tri. The event aimed to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day and 70th anniversary of the signing of the Geneva agreement.

The event “Eternal Epic” was held within the framework of the “Festival for Peace 2024” – the first of its kind to be held in the province.

The art programme helps portray an image of a generation of young people who set aside their schooling, responded to the call of the Fatherland to fight for the national liberation and independence.

The Quang Tri ancient citadel has gone down in national history as a symbol of bravery after local military units and people fought for 81 days against enemy troops, from June 28 to September 16, 1972. This contributed to the success of the Paris talks and the 1975 Spring Campaign which ultimately brought about the liberation of Vietnam’s southern region and national re-unification./.
