Deputy Minister Le Hai Binh emphasized that each work is a true slice of life, recording beautiful moments of the country's transformation, creating a vivid picture of a happy, civilized, rich in identity and strongly rising Vietnam.
“What is special is that the authors come from different professions, ages, regions and ethnicities. They use different equipment, from professional to simple.
But they all have one thing in common, which is a passionate love, a heart for the Fatherland and a desire to convey the image of a peaceful, beautiful, dynamic and happy Vietnam to the world," Mr. Binh shared.

He said: “The atmosphere at Bach Dang wharf that day was bustling and brilliant. I took the photo at that moment, a Ho Chi Minh City was happy, alive, and proud. For me, that is "Happy Vietnam", the happiness of being part of the flow of history and preserving it through a frame".
