Ấn Độ và hội nghị Geneve về Đông Dương năm 1954

Abstract

The article touches upon India’s contributions to the success of the Geneve conference on Indochina in 1954. Though India was not a participant member in the Conference, it was very interested in the developments of the war in Indochina and put forth many initiatives of cease-fire and reconciliation in the peninsula.
Based upon the position of non-alignment and full support for the national liberation
movement, on 22ỈUỈ December 1954, Indian Prime Minister J. Nehru made his appeal for peace restoration in Indochina. At the meeting of six Colombo countries (namely India, Myanmar, Ceylan, Indonesia, and Pakistan) on 281h April 1954, he put forth the 6-point initiative aimed at ensuring the independence of Indochinese nations without any intervention of major powers under the pretext of the United Nations-mandated oversight, Nehru coordinated with British Foreign Minister Eden and Chinese Premier Chou En-lai in the deliberation on establishing the International Control Commission on ceasefire in Indochina. Finally, India was appointed to assume the Commission's chairmanship together with two participant countries Poland and Canada.
The article also mentions the difficulties India encountered at the juncture of the
national liberation movement, socialist countries and imperialist countries.
The article points out India's correct observation about the just war for national
salvation in Indochina and Nehru’s fine feelings towards President Ho Chi Minh.
