The exhibits are taken from the “Vietnamese Folk Paintings” book by French linguist Maurice Durand. The book was published and is preserved at the French Academy of the Far East (EFEO).

Visitors attending the two-day exhibition can also learn how to make the folk paintings.

A meeting with historical witnesses was held in Hoa Lo prison in Hanoi by the High Command of Guard Police, the city’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Hoa Lo prison’s management board on the same day.

Participants at the event recalled their memories of the fierce days of wartime in the past, as well as the spirit of comradeship and the contributions of those who devoted their lives to the national revolutionary cause.

The event also featured songs and dances praising the Party, President Ho Chi Minh, and the Vietnam People’s Police Force./.

“Digital Front” - New Space for Reaching Out to, Receiving, and Responding to Public Feedback

From a smartphone, many complaints and suggestions related to the environment, urban management, or daily life no longer have to wait for neighborhood meetings to be raised; instead, they are now sent directly to Zalo groups, fanpages, or online feedback portals operated by the Front. The “Digital Front” is therefore not merely about software or applications, but is reshaping how Front work reaches out to, receives, and responds to public feedback.
