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.
