A photo exhibition featuring the land and people of Viet Nam is taking place at the International Media Centre in the central city of Da Nang as an activity to celebrate the APEC 2017 Economic Leaders’ Week.
Visitors at the exhibition
Jointly organised by the APEC 2017 National Committee, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Da Nang People’s Committee, the exhibition displays 100 artistic photos introducing Viet Nam’s beautiful landscapes, economic and tourism potential, and culture as well as the life of Vietnamese people.
The event is hoped to contribute to the common success of the APEC Viet Nam Year 2017 while bringing the images of Viet Nam’s land and people closer to international friends and opening up new investment opportunities for the country in various fields like economy, culture and tourism.
The APEC 2017 Economic Leaders’ Week, themed “Creating New Dymanism, Fostering A Shared Future” is scheduled for November 6-11 in Da Nang.
