QUẢNG BÌNH A photo exhibition named The Imprint of General Võ Nguyên Giáp on Điện Biên Phủ opened in the central province of Quảng Bình – the hometown of the General - on August 20.

This event aims to celebrate the 79th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - 2024), the National Day (September 2, 1945 - 2024), and the 113th birth anniversary of the General (August 25, 1911 - 2024).

The exhibition showcases 103 photos, featuring the homeland and family of General Võ Nguyên Giáp, the General, and the Điện Biên Phủ Campaign (May 7, 1954), and the sentiments of the Điện Biên people towards the General.

The exhibits introduce the significant contributions, directions, and strategic decisions of the General as the Commander-in-Chief of the Việt Nam People’s Army during the struggle against the French colonialists, particularly the Điện Biên Phủ Campaign.

The exhibition will remain open to visitors until the end of September 20.

General Giáp, whose real name is Võ Giáp, was born in Lộc Thủy Commune in Lệ Thủy District, the central province of Quảng Bình, on August 25, 1911. He was the commander of the Điện Biên Phủ Campaign which went down in history as a glorious milestone of the entire Vietnamese Party, army, and people in the resistance war against the French colonialists (1945 - 1954).

The Điện Biên Phủ Victory that “resounded across the five continents and shook the globe” forced the French colonialists to sit down at the negotiation table to discuss and sign the Geneva Accords on ending the war and restoring peace in Indochina in July 1954. This put an end to the prolonged French colonial rule and heralded a new stage for the revolution in Indochina. VNA/VNS
