“Vietnam has won independence, and now, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the people are taking their destiny into their own hands in a new stage, a stage of rising forward.”

The Vietnamese Party, State and people always remember and treasure the close affection, valuable assistance and support that American friends and peace-loving people have given to the Vietnamese people in the past struggle for national independence and reunification, as well as in the present cause of national construction and defence, State President Luong Cuong has said.

This was shared by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Berris Ekinci at the celebration of the 80th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, recently held in Ankara, Turkey.

In Hue city, 200 photographic works by 133 Vietnamese and international artists were showcased at the exhibition “Vietnam through the Lens of International Photographers”, offering diverse perspectives on the beauty of Vietnam’s landscapes and people through the art of photography.
