Exhibition on ASEAN Community kicks off in Hanoi

Addressing the opening ceremony, the Minister of Information and Communication Truong Minh Tuan stressed that the ASEAN Community's establishment is a historic milestone in Southeast Asian connectivity.

The exhibition is showcasing a stamp collection on the ASEAN Community; art photos, documentary films and reportages selected from three contests by the Ministry of Information and Communication over the past years with the themes ‘ASEAN – Landscape – People’, ‘Climate Change in ASEAN’ and ‘Ethnic Groups in ASEAN’.

The event is also presenting a 27-painting collection by children from ASEAN countries and books on ASEAN.

Through the display, visitors have an opportunity to learn more about the culture, people and environment of ASEAN member countries and tighten cultural solidarity in the ASEAN Community.

The event, organised by the Ministry of Information and Communication as part of programme of the ASEAN Information and Communications Steering Committee marking 49 years of cooperation - in which Vietnam is considered a key factor in assuring ASEAN solidarity and unification - runs until August 7.
