Forty years after the launch of renewal, Viet Nam has continued to develop, affirming its position and prestige on the international stage as it does today. Renewal has not been limited to the economy alone, but has also encompassed institutions, culture and society, science and technology, national governance, and human development. This has been a comprehensive, profound, creative and sustainable process of renewal.

Twenty outstanding photographic works were awarded at the photo exhibition themed “Viet Nam through the lens of international photographers” held in Hue on September 10. The exhibition was selected from more than 6,000 entries by 415 authors from 16 countries.
