the enemy; and at the same time recognised a new step in the Vietnamese
campaign art in the resistance war against French colonialists.

self-reliance, and aspiration for peace; consolidating the belief and political
determination of the entire Party, people and army to overcome all hardships
and challenges, especially in controlling and driving back the COVID-19

and those denying the historical and realistic values of the resistance war
against the French colonialists in general, and the Hoa Binh Campaign in
particular.
