MAPUTO — A photo exhibition opened in Mozambique’s capital city of Maputo on June 26, marking five decades of the solidarity between Vietnam and the African country.
The event, jointly held by the Vietnamese Embassy in Mozambique and Joaquim Chissano University, drew around 300 delegates to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic ties (June 25).
Ambassador Trần Thị Thu Thìn affirmed that the exhibition is not merely a collection of photographs but a vivid testament to the time-honoured friendship and solidarity between the people of Việt Nam and Mozambique.
She noted that while June 25, 1975 marks Mozambique’s independence and the official establishment of diplomatic relations with Việt Nam, the bonds between the two sides began even earlier, forged through shared ideals and their respective struggles for national independence and self-determination.
The exhibition serves as a profound tribute to previous generations who steadfastly nurtured Việt Nam-Mozambique friendship and solidarity, and as an inspiring message to today’s youth to continue developing the precious legacy, strengthening mutual understanding, respect, and cooperative spirit for the common benefit of both peoples and the shared peace and development of their respective regions and the world, she underscored.

Meanwhile, PhD. João Gabriel de Barros, Rector of the Joaquim Chissano University, stated that the event offered an opportunity for his students to gain better insights into Việt Nam’s land and people as well as the friendship and solidarity between the two countries.
He highlighted education cooperation as a key pillar of the bilateral relations, with both countries exchanging scholarships and Việt Nam sending education experts to Mozambique. He expressed his hope that this collaboration will continue to grow and that youth from both countries will play a more active role in advancing the friendship and cooperation.
