The photo exhibition is organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to emphasise the spirit with which Vietnamese photographers are joining the drive to integrate the country into world culture.

The event will display 148 photos of 15 well-known artists from 13 countries and territories from all over Europe, South America and Asia. They all were bestowed the title of Master by the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP).

Half of the photos to be shown have won prizes in international competitions, the rest are new works. The photo exhibition will last until December 18.

Also, the organising board will hold a cultural exchange in Ha Long city, northern province of Quang Ninh, between Vietnamese and foreign photographers on December 12-13. The good chance will help Vietnamese artists learn experience from foreign ones and introduce the national images to the world’s community.

In addition, the foreign artists will have a talk with Vietnamese photography lovers on December 13 at the French Cultural Centre, L’Espace, on 24 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi.
