Photo exhibition on AO victims opens in S Korea

SEOUL (VNS)— A collection of photographs capturing meetings between trans-Viet Nam cyclists and Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange (AO) taken by Lee Jong-hun are on display at an exhibition that opened in the Republic of Korea (RoK) on Saturday.

The exhibition is being held by the Vietnamese Embassy in the RoK with the support of the MBC Nanum Broadcasting Company.

Lee took the photos when he joined 20 Vietnamese and Korean bike riders on their 1,750km journey across Viet Nam last November.

The riders, representing AO victims, Viet Nam - RoK families and the two countries' students, had opportunities to meet Vietnamese AO victims during their 26-day journey.-VNS
