The event, organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in coordination with the embassy of Romania in Vietnam, aims to advance cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the two countries.

On display are 120 photos documenting milestones in the history of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Romania, particularly high-ranking meetings among leaders, including visits to Romania by late President Ho Chi Minh, late Party General Secretary Le Duan and late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong.

The exhibition also tells about bilateral cooperative activities in six decades of Vietnam-Romania diplomatic ties.

Speaking at the event, Dumiku Olaru, Romanian ambassador to Vietnam, said the exhibition showed the process of developing bilateral relations in such fields as politics, economics, culture, education and training, national defence, and others for the common interest of the two peoples.
