VGP - The inauguration ceremony of the mosaic wall section using Argentine pottery along the Red River dyke in Hà Nội - the work to commemorate the 1,000th founding anniversary of Thăng Long-Hà Nội - took place on June 2.


Argentine Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Religion Victorio Jose Taccetti, Argentine Ambassador to Việt Nam Alberto Kaminker, Vice Chairperson of Hà Nội People’s Committee Ngô Thị Thanh Hằng, Chairman of the Union of Friendship Organizations Vũ Xuân Hồng, head of UNESCO’s Hà Nội Office Katherine Muller-Marin, representatives of diplomatic offices, and artists of two countries attended the ceremony.

The 25-m mosaic wall section, with the total area of 65m2, was created by Argentine and Hanoian artists to embody Argentina’s typical images such as Tango dances, mountains and forests, and colorful natural landscapes.

Despite long geographical distance, artists and people of the two countries have done a lot to build up friendship, the ambassador said.
