The event was part of a series of activities in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 - 2024) that directly led to the signing of the Geneva Accords on ending the war and restoring peace in Indochina.
The Him Lam resistance centre was built with three bases on three hills forming a tripod position.
To win the opening combat in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, Him Lam hill was soaked in blood of hero Phan Dinh Giot and many of his comrades who laid down their lives.
The conservation and renovation of the Him Lam resistance centre relic site aims to maintain the status quo of the site, and show gratitude to soldiers and martyrs who laid down their lives for the historic Dien Bien Phu Victory.
On the same day, PM Chinh attended a ceremony naming streets, including one in Muong Thanh ward after late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong and another in Noong Bua ward after Martyr, Dien Bien Soldier, Hero of the People's Armed Forces Nguyen Ngoc Bao.
On this occasion, 37 other streets were also given names.
