Photo exhibition on Vietnam opens in London

A photography exhibition entitled “Vietnamese Soul” opened in London on September 1 on Vietnam and its people to mark the country’s 65th National Day.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK, Tran Quang Hoan, stated that relations between Vietnam and the UK have been developing strongly in many fields since the diplomatic ties between the two countries were set up in 1973.

The event will help visitors to gain a better understanding of Vietnam as well as strengthen ties between the two countries, said Hoan.

The exhibition is showcasing work by 10 Vietnamese painters, including “Long Bien Bridge” by Le Quy Tong, “small path” by Pham Luan and “girl in Ao Dai” by Lim Khim Katy.

An English visitor said that she had visited Vietnam before and that these photos had brought back memories of Vietnam and its people. She said she will return to Vietnam soon. (Source: VOV)
