Ambassador Duong Chi Dung and a French friend of Vietnam

(VOVworld) - The Vietnamese Embassy in France held a meeting in Paris on Thursday to mark the 40^th anniversary of the signing of the Paris Peace Agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam. Addressing the function, Ambassador Duong Chi Dung affirmed that the signing of the agreement in Paris 40 years ago was a historical event and an important milestone in the Vietnamese people’s heroic struggle for national independence and liberation: “The Vietnamese people were not alone in the fight but always received support from advanced and peace loving people around the world. Successes in the negotiation led to the signing of the peace accords were closely linked to international solidarity movement to support the Vietnamese people.”

On this occasion, the Vietnamese Embassy in France organised an exhibition showcasing photos featuring the activities of the two Vietnamese negotiation delegations and articles on the negotiation process run on local newspapers.

Pierre Gueguen, who used to work as a security guard for the delegation of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam to the Paris peace talks, presented the Vietnamese Embassy with two paintings depicting the historical villa in Verrieres-Le-Buisson, where the delegation stayed during the process of negotiations.
