The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel, in collaboration with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, on July 9 organised a seminar on the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 1954) and the signing of the ‘Geneva Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Vietnam (1954-2024) on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of those events. Participants, who are students studying international relations and Asian studies at the university, had a chance to watch a documentary on the historic victory which marked the end of the French colonialism and created a turning point that led to the signing of the Geneva Agreement (July 21, 1954) to end the war and restore peace in Indochina. Previously, the ambassador and staff of the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel also engaged in a discussion on the above-mentioned topic with some lecturers and scholars of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and representatives of the Israel-Vietnam Friendship Association.
