(KPL/VNA) A photo exhibition highlighting
Vietnam’s victories that changed the course of world history is being held at
the pedestrian space around Hoan Kiem Lake downtown Hanoi.
Kicked off on April 26, the event aims to
celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 - 2024) and the
49th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day
(April 30, 1975 - 2024).
It is showcasing 70 documentary images
divided into three parts, namely the glorious Dien Bien Phu Victory; the 1975 Spring
General Offensive and Uprising with the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign
liberating the South and reunifying the country; and Hanoi – Hue – Saigon.
Vietnam's history in the 20th century was
marked by the Dien Bien Phu Victory and the Ho Chi Minh Campaign, which ended
nine years of the resistance war against French colonialists and the
21-year-long struggle against the US, respectively.
Jointly organised by the management board of
Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi's Old Quarter, the B52 Victory Museum, and the Vietnam
Military History Museum, the exhibition runs until May 31.
