Laying wreaths and offering incense at the central memorial of Quang Tri Ancient Citadel, the delegation from Hai Phong City respectfully bowed their heads in remembrance and gratitude to the heroic martyrs who bravely sacrificed themselves in the 81-day and 81-night battle to defend Quang Tri Ancient Citadel during the fiery summer of 1972. Their sacrifices significantly contributed to the victory at the Paris Peace Conference negotiations, paving the way for the national offensive and uprising in the spring of 1975, liberating the South and unifying the country.
