Photos of daily life in Vietnam exhibited in France

The exhibit, co-organized by the France-Vietnam Cultural Association, Pyrénées-Orientale province, and the Vietnamese Embassy in France, will continue until mid May. Nguyen Thi That Peel, Chairwoman of the France – Vietnam Culture Association, who has been awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honour, said her contribution to enhancing the friendship between France and Vietnam comes from her love for both countries: "It would be very sad not to keep one’s native cultural identity while living abroad. And it would be great if we could harmonize the cultures of our fatherland and our country of residence. I’m very happy to love both of them."
