The delegation, headed by the museum’s Director Chu Duc Tinh, held talks with the Director of Mexico City’s Historical Centre, Alejandra Moreno Toscano, who said that her city wishes to work with Vietnam to organise exhibitions and exchanges of art troupes.

Ms Toscano also suggested working together to preserve cultural works related to President Ho Chi Minh in Mexico City.

Isabel Molina, Director of Cultural Relations for Mexico City’s Mayor, used the occasion to ask the Vietnamese delegation to help the city organise a Vietnamese culture week.

During their time in Mexico City , the Vietnamese delegation laid a wreath at the statue of Ho Chi Minh in Freedom Park and visited a number of cultural and tourist spots as well as several of the city’s museums.
