VietNamNet Bridge – House No. 49 located in Cambaceres Street in Paris suburb, which accommodated officials from the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam during negotiations for the signing of the Paris Accords to end the Vietnam War, has become a historical relic site.
A plaque signifying the title was embedded in the wall of the house in a ceremony held by the municipal administration of Verrieres-le-Buisson city on October 13.
House No. 49 (now No. 17) provided accommodations between 1968 and 1973 for the delegation of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam, led by Foreign Minister Nguyen Thi Binh, who then became Vice President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Speaking at the ceremony, Thomas Joly, First Vice Mayor of Verrieres-le-Buisson city recalled activities associated with history of House No. 17 and that of the Vietnamese people’s struggle for national independence as well as the negotiations for the signing of the Paris Accords to end the unjust war and restore peace in Vietnam.
He said Verrieres-le-Buisson city is proud of having its part in putting an end to the Vietnam War and the “historical relic site” plaque embedded in House No. 49 is evidence of a memorable historical phase of France and Vietnam.
Envoy of the Vietnamese Embassy to France Dinh Toan Thang thanked the authorities and people of Verrieres-le-Buisson city in particular and the French people in general for the great assistance and sentiments they have given to Vietnam.
He emphasised the important significance of the event in the history of Vietnam-France relations, adding that the memories kept by House No. 49 will always be preserved by Vietnamese people.
On this occasion, an exhibition showcasing photos and news articles on Vietnam and the screening of a documentary film capturing activities of the delegation of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam during the mentioned period were held.
