(VOV) -The Italy-Vietnam Friendship Association in Lombardy region recently hosted a seminar on “Vietnam: the Past, the Present and the Future” at the headquarters of the Milan Confederation of Labour.
The event reviewed the historic victories of the Vietnamese people in the 20thcentury, notably the Dien Bien Phu victory which played a decisive role in ending Vietnam resistance war against the French forces.
The participants confirmed the victory of Dien Bien Phu paved the way for the signing of the Geneva Accords that ended the war and restored peace in Indochina, thus making important contributions to national liberation movements, and encouraging colonial nations from Asia, Africa to Latin America to fight to free themselves from the invasions of colonialism and imperialism.
In his statement, Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Long stated the Dien Bien Phu victory demonstrated the clear-sighted leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and the growth of the Vietnam People’s Army, opening up a new revolutionary period towards the total liberation of southern Vietnam for national reunification.
Long also thanked Italian and international friends for their great support and assistance for Vietnam’s resistance wars against French colonialists and American imperialists, as well as the current Doi Moi (Renewal) process.
On the occasion, two books featuring legendary General Vo Nguyen Giap and fallen solider Nguyen Van Troi, newly translated into Italian language, were introduced during the seminar.
