(VOVworld) - Moscow hosted a seminar on Vietnam’s Dien Bien Phu victory (May 7, 1954) and the victory by the Red Army of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War (May 9, 1945). The event was held by the Moscow Academy of Economics and Law (MAEL) and the Russian Veterans Association in Vietnam in collaboration with the Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association. Speaking at the seminar, Russian military experts emphasized that the Dien Bien Phu victory was the victory of the ingenious combination between a modern military strategy with Vietnam’s classic guerrilla that showed that an army with rudimentary weapons smashed a powerful military machine to make ​​a global shaking Dien Bien Phu victory. The resounding victory not only brought peace to Vietnam, but also contributed to restoring peace in Indochina, forcing France to sign the Geneva Agreement.  Delegates said that today’s young generations should be educated about the historic victories of Vietnam and the Soviet Union with the great sacrifice of millions of outstanding people so as to make them better understand the value of peace.
