Sunday, May 05, 2024, 22:00 GMT+7
A rehearsal for a grand military parade in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu battle that marked the victory of the Vietnamese revolutionary army over French colonialists in 1954 was held in Dien Bien Province, northwestern Vietnam on Sunday morning.
The rehearsal was organized at a stadium in the provincial capital city of Dien Bien Phu, where the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory will take place on Tuesday next week.
On May 7, 1954, the Vietnamese revolutionary army won a globe-shaking victory over French colonial troops after a 56-day military campaign in Muong Thanh Valley, located in what is now Dien Bien Province.
The rehearsal featured a national flag-hoisting ceremony, a drum performance, art performances, and a military parade as the highlight of the event.
The rehearsal was attended by thousands of people, including those from the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and Dien Bien Province.
