Present at the opening ceremony were Lao Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Somsavad Lengsavath and Vietnam Ambassador Ta Minh Chau. 

Under the theme of “the Party and Vietnam-Laos youth”, the exhibition showcases 70 art works of students from three universities, including Vietnam Fine Arts Teachers’ University, Lao National Faculty of Fine Art and Lao Teachers’ College. 

The photos not only represent the youthfulness in the new era but also embody the students’ thankfulness to the Party, as well as the traditional friendship between Vietnam and Laos in the war time and in the national development. 

The exhibition, jointly held by the Lao Fine Art Department under Ministry of Information and Culture and Vietnamese Cultural Centre in Laos to celebrate the success of Vietnam’s 11^th National Party Congress and welcome the upcoming Lao 9^th Party Congress, will run till March 25.
