The photographers of the exhibition took pictures in September 2023.
At the exhibition, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs Tran Phuoc Anh said that many works of the photo exhibition specifically contribute to strengthening the bilateral relationship between Vietnam and the United States.
Moreover, he added that the Department of Foreign Affairs particularly and other departments generally do their best to support such similar activities to help raise the understanding and affection of Vietnamese people with overseas Vietnamese in the US, as well as Americans and other strategic partner countries.
While the group of authors was taking photos in the US, US President Joe Biden visited Vietnam at the invitation of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. The two countries have upgraded their comprehensive strategic partnership.
