The provincial organising board
implements the preparatory plan for the ASEAN photo and documentary exhibition.
The exhibition, scheduled to be held at the Hoa Binh Cultural
Palace, will focus on the themes of land and people; environmental protection
and climate change; and ethnic groups within the ASEAN Community.
It will introduce more than 300 photos and 100 documentary films
by ASEAN photographers and directors who entered the final of the ASEAN photo
and documentary festival held in
Vietnam in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
The event is expected to promote the land and people of ASEAN,
helping Vietnamese in general and residents in Hoa Binh in particular increase
their understanding, solidarity and friendship with people in other ASEAN
member countries.
Through the exhibition, Hoa Binh will introduce its potential and
strengths in socio-economic development, as well as traditional culture to
international friends.
Concluding the meeting, Chuong said the exhibition is a
political-cultural event of Hoa Binh province this year.
He asked members of the board to soon fulfill their assigned tasks
to make the event impressive to domestic and foreign visitors.
