LAUNCHING THE COMPETITION TO CELEBRATE THE DIEN BIEN PHU VICTORY

The Party Committee of International University (VNU-HCM Party Union) has just launched a writing contest named “The position, role, historical significance and epochal value of the Dien Bien Phu Victory”. The contest aims to create a wide range of political activities to help officials, party members, union members and students have a profound perception of the meaning of the Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954. In addition, the contest also promotes good understanding of our army and people’s heroic tradition in the resistance war against French colonialists, whose culmination is the historic Dien Bien Phu victory. As a result, it is expected to arouse patriotism, national pride and determination to build and defend the country in the new era.

On launching this contest, the Party Committee of International University wishes to enhance the national pride, the absolute confidence in the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and encourage the entire Party and its people to fight under the glorious flag of the Communist Party of Vietnam for the independence and freedom of our country. In addition, the contest is expected to provide assurance in the precision and creativity of the path of our resistance war as well as the robust growth of the Vietnam People’s Army. At the same time, it opens a new period in revolution to continue the resistance war against the US to save the country, entirely liberate the South and reunify the country.
