On display in the venue of the photo exhibition were photos showing Kim Il Sung's historic visit to Vietnam and the meeting between Kim Jong Il and Nong Duc Manh and introducing the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries.
The president of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations said at the opening ceremony that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries are the relationship whose foundation was personally provided and cultivated by President Ho Chi Minh and President Kim Il Sung.
The visit to Vietnam by Kim Il Sung was an event as it gave enormous mental and material support to the Vietnamese people and made substantial contribution to the struggle for national independence, reunification and socialist construction in Vietnam, the speaker noted.
He stated that Nong Duc Manh's visit to the DPRK last year marked an important milestone in steadily consolidating and developing the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two parties, states and peoples.
He hoped that the Korean people would achieve greater successes in the building and defence of the country and the cause of national reunification under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by Kim Jong Il and that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries would further consolidate and develop day by day.
Put on the stage of art performance were Korean and Vietnamese songs including an immortal revolutionary hymn "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "The Snow Falls".
The participants in the friendly meeting deepened friendship, looking back with deep emotion on the day when Kim Il Sung visited the mill 50 years ago.
