Circular from Nguyen Binh on the attitude to be adopted during the Franco-Vietnamese talks in Dalat (19 April 1946)
Texte In a circular dated 19 April 1946, Nguyen Binh, Vietnamese military officer and head of the 7th zone of the National Defence Army, strongly condemns the attitude of the French during the first Franco-Vietnamese talks in Dalat. He particularly accuses Admiral Georges Thierry d'Argenlieu of not complying with the agreement on Cochinchina concluded on 6 March. Nguyen Binh therefore calls on the people and the Viet Minh troops to engage in a general offensive on all fronts and to sabotage all French public bodies in Cochinchina.
