More than 300 photos and nearly 60 documentary films featuring the ASEAN community are being introduced in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh.

The photos and documentaries won prizes or entered the finals of ASEAN photo and documentary festivals held in Vietnam in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

They capture the land, people and traditional culture of member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as their efforts in environmental protection and climate change combat.

Addressing the opening ceremony on November 23, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Minh Hong said the exhibition is expected to contribute to calling for joint efforts to build the ASEAN community towards peace, stability and development.

The event will last until November 28.
