A symposium discussing the historical significance of the role the Party played and its and political work during the Spring Offensive of 1975 was held in Hanoi on April 21.

At the seminar to mark the 35th anniversary of the liberation of South Vietnam and national reunification, researchers and academics noted the theoretical and practical lessons learnt to raise the quality and effectiveness of the Party and its political work when training political commissars for the army.

The participants put forward several practical and concrete measures to raise the quality of training at the Defence Ministry’s Political Institute.

The symposium discussed the victory over US aggression during the war of resistance which completely liberated the South and reunified the nation with the Ho Chi Minh Campaign as its turning point.

The great victory was attributable to the Party and State’s creative application of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh thoughts and the combination of national unity and strength, said the seminar.

When addressing the function, the Director of the Political Institute Lieutenant General Nguyen Tien Quoc underlined the historical value of the war of resistance against US aggression, the Spring 1975 Offensive and the Ho Chi Minh Campaign.

The April 30 Victory has become a shining symbol of revolutionary heroism and one of the most outstanding events of the 20 th century, he added./.
