Moscow (VNA) – The Dien Bien Phu Victory on May 7, 1954 was a great triumph of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) known by the whole world, according to Tsvetov Petr, Associate Professor of the Department of International Relations of the Diplomatic Academy under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Talking to the Vietnam News Agency’s reporters in Moscow on the occasion of the victory’s 70th anniversary, Tsvetov Petr, who is First Vice Chairman of the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association, said that this event was a very important lesson in the military history and showed the strength of the VPA.
It also demonstrated that the French forces did not properly evaluate the strength of the Vietnamese people, as they really could not understand that once the Vietnamese people stood up to defend their goals and interests, they could fight selflessly and heroically, with both will and strength to defeat even the strongest enemies.
Regarding the military art, this was a very great campaign, worthy of being taught at military academies, the scholar stressed.
He attributed the victory to the skillful and wise leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, President Ho Chi Minh, General Vo Nguyen Giap and Party General Secretary Truong Chinh.
During the battle at Dien Bien Phu, justice was on Vietnam's side because the Vietnamese people stood up to defend their independence.
