Naming constructions is to honor heroes, martyrs, and those who contributed to the revolution and the glorious history of the Vietnamese people. In addition to historical and foreign significance, naming parks and roads also helps to perfect the urban management system, creating favorable conditions for identifying locations, economic, administrative and social transactions.

This is also a way to educate the younger generation about revolutionary traditions, arouse national pride, and strengthen the awareness of preserving and promoting historical values. With a synchronous planning, the park and traffic system will become increasingly modern, serving the daily needs of the people, creating cultural and tourist highlights. This event marks an important step forward in building the image of a Dien Bien Phu that is both developed and modern, while preserving national identity; at the same time, expanding cooperation with international friends, demonstrating the spirit of peace and deep integration.

After the activity of placing nameplates on parks and roads, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long and the delegation offered incense to commemorate the heroic martyrs at the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Martyrs' Temple and visited the Ban flower garden at the Dien Bien Phu Victory Monument.
