The event, co-organized by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Naval High Command, Hanoi People’s Committee and the People’s Public Security Television, was a chance for Vietnamese and expatriates to look back the magnanimous past of the nation, so that they could be more proud of their older generations who had sacrificed for national salvation and national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Meanwhile, feats of arms of our troops and people in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign were vividly recalled in the exchange, themed “Resounding Dien Bien”, held by the Military Police Battalion 103 of the Hanoi Capital High Command, Hanoi College of Pedagogy and Ba Dinh District Veterans’ Association. Invited guests, Eminent Artist, musician Nguyen The Vinh who directly joined combats in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign and Nguyen Cong Dinh, the former operation staff cadre of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army in the campaign, told troops about their touching memories.
The fierce battles of 60 years ago in Dien Bien Phu will be told via some photos taken by Raymond Cauchetier in the Indochinese battlefield, especially on the Dien Bien Phu Front, to be made public for the first time in Vietnam this May. The French photographer presented those photos to the Museum of War Remnants in Ho Chi Minh City in 2005.
