He added: “It’s essential to look back to history to learn lessons and avoid recurrence. So the seminar is of scientific and political significance to the two countries’ relations and provides an opportunity for us to pay tribute and honor our fallen soldiers for the sacred independence of the Fatherland. We pledge to make our policies more beneficial to revolutionary contributors and those who sacrificed their lives during the Northern Border Defense War.”

At the seminar 60 presentations focused on historical truth and Vietnam’s legitimate right to defend its northern territory.
