The Workers’ University of Mexico (UOM) on February 19 opened a photo exhibition featuring images of Vietnam’s land and people through the years.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Mexico Le Thanh Tung and Cuban Ambassador to Mexico Dagoberto Rodriguez joined many others at the event, which kicked off with a screening of the documentary “Vietnam la nhu the” (This is Vietnam).
In their opening speeches, UOM Publication Director Guillermo Favela and General Secretary Silva Prudkovsky shared their view that the event will provide an excellent opportunity for the young generation of Mexicans to understand Vietnam and its major role in contemporary history.
The documentary portrays Vietnam during the war against foreign invaders as a self-confident nation with an unyielding spirit struggling for national independence and freedom.
For his part, Ambassador Tung thanked the UOM for bringing the real images of Vietnam’s land and people to the Mexican public.
He said that Vietnam understands the real value of peace more than anyone, and always wants to contribute to a peaceful environment in the region and the world.
The diplomat thanked the Mexican and Latin American governments and people for their assistance during Vietnam’s struggle for national unification as well as its current construction process.
“Vietnam la nhu the” has won many international awards, including Vietnam’s Gold Lotus in 1980, the Palm award at Cuba’s Havana Film Festival in 1981, the Silver Goddess in 1981 and host of other Mexican awards.-VNA
