A GOOD CHANCE

On January 27, 1973, The Accord on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam was signed. The negotiations had taken five years before the Accord was signed. Under the Accord, the United States and other countries had to respect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Vietnam; and to withdraw troops from Vietnam. The victory had brought Vietnam into another stage of development.
Subsequent to the Accord, the Labour Party affirmed that “the revolution of the South will resort to revolutionary violence” and emphasized the role of a struggle against the US plot to break the Paris Peace Accord and the Administration of the Republic of Vietnam. In the same way, the Party affirmed that the North would be a great rear to give support to the frontlines in the South; and that the mission to liberate the South and to unify the nation had to be accomplished.
