Moscow (VNA) – The Dien Bien Phu Victory on May 7, 1954 was a great triumph of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) known by the whole world, according to Tsvetov Petr, Associate Professor of the Department of International Relations of the Diplomatic Academy under the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
