More than 50 photos on the northern midland province of Thai Nguyen taken by photo journalists of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) are on display at an exhibition which opened on October 18 in Thai Nguyen city.

The event, jointly held by Thai Nguyen provincial People’s Committee and the VNA, is aimed at marking the XVIIIth Thai Nguyen Party Congress, advancing to the XIth national Party Congress.
