Co-organised by the Embassy of Viet Nam in Ukraine, the Viet Nam-Ukraine Friendship Parliamentarians Group and the Viet Nam-Ukraine Friendship Association, the event is held on the occasion of the 128th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 – 2018), the 70th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s call for patriotic work emulation (June 11, 1948 – 2018) and 107 years since Uncle Ho left the country to find a way to save the nation (June 5, 1911 – 2018).
Addressing the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Ukraine Nguyen Anh Tuan emphasised that the photo exhibition aims to introduce Vietnam’s great achievements in the field and review the historical milestones in the traditional friendship between Viet Nam and Ukraine, as well as introducing dynamic images of the country and people of Viet Nam. In particular, there are photos on President Ho Chi Minh’s visit to Ukraine on display at the exhibition.
