A series of celebratory events
The 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory (1954-2014) is a national event of special significance for the country in general and in particular the province of Dien Bien.
This year’s celebration activities highlight the meaning and value of the great historical victory of Dien Bien Phu by stepping up communication and educating the younger generation about traditional patriotism and national pride.
They also provocatively evoke the spirit of Dien Bien Phu so as to effectively implement socio-economic tasks, ensure security and defence and help local people, international friends and overseas Vietnamese gain a better understanding of the glorious history of the nation.
Talking to a VOV reporter, Mua A Son said since from 2012, provincial leaders have actively worked with the central ministries and agencies on a project regarding activities for the celebration of the Dien Bien Phu victory for submission to the Prime Minister for approval.
After the scheme was adopted, Dien Bien province established a steering committee, an organizing committee and a subcommittee helping the organizing committee direct the organization and implementation of celebratory activities.
Son said the most important highlights in the sequence of activities to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the historic victory are a special art performance on May 6; the national march and parade on the morning of May 7 at Dien Bien Stadium, and a firework display to be staged at the provincial Culture Conference Centre.
These activities will be broadcast live on both radio and television, he added.
Earlier from March 13-15, Dien Bien successfully organized Dien Bien Culture and Tourism Week, attracting a large number of tourists and ethnic minority people.
For construction projects welcoming the 60th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory, provincial leaders have provided guidance and urged investors to accelerate the progress of construction and ensure the project quality for timely completion for anniversary celebrations.
Among these projects, the Dien Bien Phu victory museum project is seen as the most important work for the landmark anniversary.
“The work shows gratitude of future generations for the heroic martyrs who laid down their lives for national independence and freedom. With that sense, we are striving to complete the project on schedule to serve visitors at home and abroad “, the provincial chairman said.
Along with that, Dien Bien has called on all provinces and cities from across the country to support it in communication activities and the province has received a positive response and support of provinces and cities nationwide.
To support the media agencies’ activities during the anniversary celebration period, the provincial People’s Committee has decided to establish a press centre aiming to facilitate dissemination of information about the important event.
Through these centres the Vietnamese and people of the world can obtain a heightened awareness about the value of the Dien Bien Phu victory as an omnipresent symbol of the overall success of all peace-loving people, Chairman Son said.
