The traveling photographic exhibition 'We the People', which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the U.S. - Romania Strategic Partnership, will open on Thursday in Sibiu; the exhibition is organized by the U.S. Embassy in partnership with the Foreign Affairs Ministry - the Diplomatic Archives Unit, the AGERPRES National News Agency, in collaboration with the University of Craiova.
The exhibition will be open to the public until January 10.
'We, the People: 25 Years of Strategic Partnership' is a thematic photographic essay that explores the diplomatic, security, economic and cultural relations between the Romanian and American people.
"This display of interactions between the two nations proves that the U.S. - Romania Strategic Partnership is accessible to everyone. The exhibition extensively captures the interactions between the two peoples ever since the beginning of the Partnership, in 1997. The 150 photos of the exhibit create a personal framework for the Strategic Partnership of the past and present, providing the opportunity to experience the friendship and collaboration between the two peoples in a new way,'' the organizers say.
The focus of the exhibition is on 'We the People' - the famous preamble to the U.S. Constitution and the embodiment of human ties that form bridges of understanding and cooperation between peoples. Diplomacy and successful bilateral friendship are based on these ties and the common values they encompass, the cited source also shows.
The National News Agency contributed 20 images from its photo stream and its Photographic Archive. Also, the Foreign Ministry's Diplomatic Archives Unit contributed 13 photos.
