The “Mexican colours” exhibition has opened at 29 Hang Bai street, Hanoi to mark Mexican Independence Day (September 16, 1810 – 2009)

The photos, taken by Mexican photographers and Pham Tien Dung, Vice Editor-in-chief of Vietnam Pictorial Magazine will give Vietnamese people a comprehensive view of Mexico, which has many similarities to Vietnam in culture.

The exhibition is aimed at promoting mutual understanding and multi-faceted co-operation between the two countries.

Mexico, in Central America, is a very large country covering a total area of 2,2 million sq. km with a population of 106 million people of all colours and races.

The country has a diverse range of environments and a special culture and it is also the cradle of the Maya and Azteca civilisations.

The exhibition will run until September 20.
