Songs and

and sacrifices to secure a triumph which was described as having resonated
across the five continents and shook the world.
With the participation of nearly 100 singers and dancers,
the gala night brought the audience back to a historic period of the nation.
Earlier at the A1 Cemetery for Fallen Soldiers, a
candlelit vigil was held to pay tribute to those who have died for national
independence.
The cemetery was built in 1958 roughly 100 metres south
of the A1 Hill, where the battle took place.
On May 7, 1954, Vietnam
secured a final victory over the French at Dien Bien Phu, forcing them to sign
the Geneva Accords on restoring peace in Vietnam
and ending nearly 100 years of French colonial rule in Vietnam.
