The commemoration left a positive impression and favourable image of Điện Biên in public opinion. The anniversary garnered great response from the people of Điện Biên in particular and the entire country in general. A significant number of people travelled to Điện Biên, participating in many practical and meaningful activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Điện Biên Phủ Victory, embodying the spirit of "The whole country turns to Điện Biên – Điện Biên with the whole country".

Speaking at the meeting, provincial Party Secretary Trần Quốc Cường affirmed that the anniversary was successfully held. He emphasised that the foremost lesson learned from this success was the unanimous determination of the Steering Committee and the people throughout the province.

These projects include bringing electricity to rural households and conserving and restoring monuments to create a "boost" for tourism.
