Selected from thousands of photos taken by Nguyen A, the exhibits feature the image of the Vietnamese “blue beret” soldiers while performing their international tasks.

At the opening ceremony, the 54-year-old artist introduced a photo book telling about his one-month journey with the peacekeepers in the African nation through 300 photos.

Nguyen A has so far organized 17 exhibitions on Vietnam’s land, people, and tangible and intangible cultural heritages.

Last month, Vietnam sent its Engineering Company Rotation 1 to the U.N. Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA).

Established in 2014 and debuted in November 2021, the 184-member unit has been the biggest of Vietnam to join U.N. peacekeeping mission to date.

The first 28 members arrived in Abyei on May 5 and the remaining 156 on June 15 (local time).

Below are several photos of Vietnamese peacekeepers taken by Nguyen A.
