(Cinet)- Photos, objects and materials featuring the 1954 Geneva Conference are on display at an exhibition opened on July 21 at Traditional house of Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Hanoi. The Geneva Conference of 1954was an international meeting in Switzerland involving the Soviet Union, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, China and the Viet Minh. At the conference, the Geneva Agreement was signed to end the war and restore peace in Indochina, including Vietnam, marking a great success of Vietnam’s diplomacy. The exhibition depicts the efforts of the Vietnamese nascent diplomatic sector 60 years ago in the struggle to gain liberation for Vietnamese people. The agreement affirmed Vietnamese people’s desire for peace, national independence, sovereignty, unification and territorial integrity. The conference left valuable lessons, especially those on considering the national interests as the most important goal and the highest principle in external affairs. The exhibition will run until late August.
