The program also affirmed the position, role and contributions of Tuyen Quang - the Resistance Capital with the Dien Bien Phu victory.

Tuyen Quang has also continuously built and consolidated its armed forces, recruited additional troops for its main units; ensured smooth transportation in all situations; and served as a bridge between the Viet Bac base and the Northwest battlefield.
