A photo exhibition themed ‘Firmly move forward under the Party’s glorious flag’ was opened on January 22 at the National Convention Centre in Hanoi by the Party Commission of Education and Communication and the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) in celebration of the 13th National Party Congress.

The exhibition is displaying 100 large-sized black and white and colour photos selected from tens of thousands of images in the VNA’s archives.

They provide a comprehensive view of the country’s major successes and achievements during the glorious struggle against foreign invaders and national construction and safeguarding under the Communist Party of Vietnam’s leadership over the last 91 years, since the Party was founded on February 3, 1930.

Other highlights of the exhibition are photos of the country’s achievements during the Party’s 12th tenure (2016-2021), including in national industrialisation and modernisation, improvements to living standards, the enhancement of people’s trust in the Party’s leadership, the COVID-19 fight, and bilateral and multilateral diplomatic activities.

The exhibition will run until February 2, 2021.

The same day, an exhibition kicked off in Hai Phong City’s Centre for Information, Exhibition and Cinematography under the theme ‘The Communist Party Vietnam – Historical Milestones’.

Works on display at the exhibition include nearly 200 documents and photos recalling the glorious history of our Party along with the country’s significant achievements in national liberation, construction and defence.
