Regarding the historical significance of the Dien Bien Phu victory, Ambassador Ngo Minh Nguyet emphasized that the Dien Bien Phu battle was the pinnacle of the resistance war against the French colonialists.

It created the basic and decisive basis for the signing of the Geneva Accords on the cessation of hostilities in Vietnam, opening a new revolutionary period, bringing North Vietnam to the transition to socialism, serving as a solid rear for the cause of the struggle to completely liberate the South, and unify the country.

The Dien Bien Phu victory affirmed the correct and creative resistance policy of the Communist Party and the growth of the Vietnam People’s Army, which was the basis for Vietnam to later defeat the American invaders for Southern liberation and national unification.

According to Ambassador Ngo Minh Nguyet, the Dien Bien Phu victory is a shining symbol in the national liberation movement, which overthrew old colonialism and opened a new page of history for humanity, contributing to changing the world situation.

The victory awakened and encouraged oppressed peoples around the world to rise up and fight for independence and freedom, forcing the French government to grant independence to many countries in Asia and Africa.
