At a ceremony on March 30, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Nguyen Ngoc Son praised the VNA for promptly providing the photos in service of the embassy’s exhibition.

The diplomat emphasized the historical meaning of building, calling it a symbol of national unity and reconciliation.

The embassy headquarters moved to a new location on 61 Miromesnil, 8th district in May 2014. However, conference and reception rooms of the old building on Boileau Street are still used for important diplomatic activities.

The exhibition, which is scheduled to open on April 28, will also display photos provided by Vietnamese expatriates in the county.
