The exhibition, which will run through Thursday, features photographs that captured key milestones in the Vietnam–US relationship, and traditional handicraft products representing more than 4,000 years of Vietnamese cultural heritage.

The event is part of a series of activities celebrating three major Vietnamese anniversaries in 2025: the 30th anniversary of Vietnam–US diplomatic relations, the 50th anniversary of national reunification, and the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s founding.

Ambassador Dung said activities are an opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary relationship shared by the two nations — a relationship built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to peace and prosperity. He also called for international support for those communities that have been devastated by the recent storms and flooding in central Vietnam.
