In his opening remarks, president of the association of Ukrainian painters Kostiantyn V. Cherniavskyy said the exhibition offers a chance for the public to explore the beauty of both Vietnam and Ukraine because culture and arts are boundless. He said he believes cultural diplomacy remains a bridge between the two countries and makes the world a better place.
Ambassador Nguyen Hong Thach, for his part, highly spoke of the paintings, saying they are special gifts from Ukrainian friends and artists for Vietnam on the special occasion.
A painting is worth more than a thousand words, he said, as it will help bring people from the two countries closer to each other and improve their mutual understanding.
He also briefed the guests about what the two nations have achieved together over the last three decades and later honoured the painters who had sent their works to the exhibition.
The event will run through February 27 and be held in other major cities in Ukraine throughout 2022./.
