Ambassador Tran Quoc Khanh highlighted the immense significance of the victory and the accords for oppressed people worldwide, saying that it was truly a source of inspiration, faith, and encouragement for the Algerian people to rise up in revolution on November 1, 1954.
An Algerian spokesperson said many Algerians saw the victory as a shared triumph of the two nations and their closely interconnected revolutions, and that the historical milestones of the Dien Bien Phu victory and the signing of the Geneva Accords, as well as the words of General Vo Nguyen Giap during his visit to Algeria in 1976, remain fresh in their minds and hearts.
