Part of the exhibition celebrates the long-standing co-operation and friendship between Russia and Viet Nam.

Veteran photographer Pham Tien Dung has more than 10 photos displayed at the exhibition. He says he took the photos while studying and working in Russia.

“I was inspired by the peaceful landscapes and upright people in Russia,” he said. “Russian and Vietnamese people have a strong attachment to each other that is difficult to explain.”

The one-week long exhibition is jointly organised by the VNA, Russian ITAR-TASS Agency and the Russian Embassy.
