Geneva (VNA) - A photo exhibition themed “Vietnam – Identity, Humanity and Integration” was held on June 30 in Geneva, Switzerland, by the Permanent Office of the Vietnamese Government's Steering Committee for Human Rights and the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations (UN).
The event aimed to promote Vietnamese culture and people while reaffirming the country’s strong commitment to human rights. It was also expected to support Vietnam’s candidacy for the UN Human Rights Council for the 2026–2028 term.
The exhibition featured vibrant photos highlighting Vietnam’s landscapes such as Ha Long Bay, terraced fields in the northwest, and heritage sites like Hoi An and Cham Towers. The images portrayed a rich cultural tapestry of 54 ethnic groups, showcasing daily life, traditional costumes, and festivals.
Photos on display also reflected religious freedom and achievements in education, healthcare, and social equality in Vietnam, as well as the country's human rights progress through effective domestic policies and international cooperation.
Vietnam, as a responsible UN member, continues to strengthen legal frameworks and implement inclusive policies for women, children, persons with disabilities, and ethnic minorities, especially those in remote areas.
UN journalist Alain Jourdan praised the exhibition as a testament to Vietnam’s constructive participation in multilateral activities, noting its contribution to promoting dialogue and peace amid global uncertainties.
The exhibition received strong support from diplomats and visitors, who appreciated its artistic value and powerful message of sustainability, global responsibility, and national unity./.
