Tokyo (VNA) – An exhibition about President Ho Chi Minh opened on May 23 at the Vietnam pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.

The exhibition, themed "President Ho Chi Minh – A Symbol of Peace and Friendship", aims to commemorate the 135th birthday of the late Vietnamese leader and the 52nd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Japan.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Tran Nhat Hoang, Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and deputy chief representative of Vietnam at EXPO 2025, said that this is the first time an exhibition on President Ho Chi Minh has been held at a world exhibition.

He emphasised that the entire life of President Ho Chi Minh is a powerful testament to his dedication to work and his desire to contribute to the country and humanity for a better world. These values align perfectly with the theme and spirit of EXPO 2025.
