An exhibition highlighting President Ho Chi Minh’s efforts to avoid a war with France and achieve peace and then his military efforts to prevail over the colonialist at Dien Bien Phu opened at Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi on May 6.

The event is being held by the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Vietnam National Museum of History, the Archives Bureau of the Office of the Party Central Committee to mark the 60^th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu victory (May 7) and the 124^th anniversary of the late President’s birth.

Nearly 200 photos, artifacts and documents on display highlight the peace-loving spirit and efforts of President Ho Chi Minh to avoid the war between Vietnam and France.

The creative military policies applied in the Winter-Spring campaign of 1953-1954 by the Party and the late leader have also been spotlighted.

The victory at Dien Bien Phu, a strategically important air-infantry base controlled by the French, on May 7, 1954, helped end French colonial rule in Vietnam, and has since become a symbol of national strength./.
