Entitled “To live and remember”, the photos, taken by Slovakian war correspondent Miroslav Tuleja, capture the struggle of the Vietnamese people and their unsinkable optimism during wartime in the 1970s.

At an opening ceremony attended by some 200 officials and diplomats, Tuleja recalled the moments of bravery and sacrifice by Vietnamese people he witnessed during the war.

“To live and remember” will run until October 21 as part of activities marking the 70th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day and the 65th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Slovakia.
