Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh, real name Nguyen Thi Chau Sa, was born on May 26, 1927, originally from Dien Ban town, Quang Nam province, in a family with a rich revolutionary tradition.
During the resistance wars against France and the US, she was an active and enthusiastic revolutionary and was arrested and imprisoned many times by the enemy. In 1960, the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam was established. In early 1961, she was assigned by the Unification Committee to participate in diplomatic activities for the Front and changed her name from Yen Sa (the alias she had used since 1948) to Nguyen Thi Binh to keep it secret and to make it easier for the international community to pronounce her name.
From here, the world learned about female politician Nguyen Thi Binh as Head of the delegation of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, then the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam participating in the Four-Party Conference on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam in Paris.
On January 27, 1973, in Paris, the “Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam” was signed. It was the result of the longest and most arduous diplomatic struggle in the history of Vietnamese diplomacy, with 202 public joint sessions, 45 high-level meetings, 500 press conferences, and 1,000 interviews over a period of 4 years and 9 months (from May 1968 to January 1973). During the negotiation process, the whole world admired and respected the steadfast will, flexibility, and acumen of diplomat Nguyen Thi Binh.
