A look back at Upper Laos Victory of 1953

Saturday, April 29, 2023, 09:00 (GMT+7)
The Upper Laos Victory is the result of the proletarian internationalism and the operational coordination between the two militaries and people of the two countries. It becomes a milestone in Viet Nam – Laos solidarity history. The Upper Laos Victory and other military victories in 1953 inflicted heavy defeats on the enemy, created a turning point for Lao revolution, and brought about developments in position and strength, enabling militaries and people of the two countries to defeat French colonialists’ invasion completely. The lessons learnt from the Upper Laos Victory of 1953 remain invaluable in theoretical, practical terms in today’s national building and defence.

VPA promotes core role in the “500-Day Campaign to accelerate the search, recovery, and identification of martyrs’ remains”

To accomplish the Campaign’s assigned tasks, objectives, and targets, ministries, sectors, local authorities, and particularly military agencies and units serving as the core force, must continue to coordinate closely in implementing comprehensive and synchronised measures. This requires mobilising all available resources and harnessing the combined strength of the entire political system and society to successfully fulfil this exceptionally important mission of profound national gratitude.
