The event was jointly held by the Venezuelan Artists’ Association in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela, and the Vietnam-Venezuela Friendship Association.
The exhibition saw famous Venezuelan artists display dozens of art paintings in honour of beloved late President Ho Chi Minh, as well as Vietnamese culture, landscapes, and people.
Addressing the event, Susej Vera, president of the Venezuelan Artists Association, emphasised that through the function, Venezuelans have the chance to gain greater insights into both Vietnamese culture and people.
First Secretary of the Vietnamese Embassy Ngo Van Chi noted that the event will contribute to further cementing the friendship that exists between the Venezuelan and Vietnamese people, particularly as the two countries move towards the 33rd anniversary of diplomatic ties and 15 years of the Vietnam-Venezuela comprehensive partnership.
In response, Carolus Wimmer, president of the Vietnam-Venezuela Friendship Association, stressed that the artworks clearly demonstrate the deep affection that the Venezuelan people have for Vietnam, especially late President Ho Chi Minh that created the primary source of inspiration for Venezuelan artists.
