Showcasing 80 photographs, the exhibition entitled “Enjoying Panama” impressed viewers with not only the beauty of the Panama Canal but also green tropical forests, romantic beaches and charming islands with the diversified culture of many nations.
The exhibition was one of the activities to celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Panama which was co-organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Panama in Vietnam and Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Ambassador of the Republic of Panama in Vietnam Servio Sammodio stressed that the “Enjoying Panama” Exhibition actively promotes cultural exchange, tightens friendship and a good relationship between the two countries in the future and helps visitors understand more about the people, culture and relic sites of his country.
Imprints of the exhibition were photos of wonderful destinations in Panama, namely the Panama old street area, the Catholic Church’s Square, San Blas Island and floating houses on the Bocas del Toro Archipelago that provided the viewers an opportunity to learn more the country’s distinctive culture.
Director of the National Library of Vietnam, Kieu Thuy Nga, said that the exhibition introduced Vietnamese and international friends to a dynamic and integrated country which was one of the commercial centres in Latin America and the Caribbean. It also is a wonderful country with friendly and easy-going people.
