Paris Peace Accords: lessons on independence, self-reliance and international solidarity

With lessons from the anti-French resistance war, the Central Committee of the Việt Nam Workers' Party upheld the spirit of independence, self-reliance and international solidarity in both resistance and negotiation guidelines. These were the two basic guiding points that ran through the negotiations at the Paris Conference from the beginning to the end. Việt Nam officially competed on both battlefield and the diplomatic front with the motto "fight and talk at the same time". At the Paris Peace Conference, Việt Nam took advantage of public forums with official and insightful speeches to win over public opinion. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Paris Peace Agreement (January 27), Việt Nam is more deeply aware of the significance of this special historical document.
