Dear friends,
We draw your attention to a documentary exhibition on the life and activities of prominent Soviet diplomat and statesman Andrei Gromyko in honor of his 110th birthday.
Andrei Gromyko is famous for his unsurpassed diplomatic mastery, his skillful advancement of our country’s interests, and his participation in the key meetings and events of the 20th century. He was present at the founding of the UN, and in 1946 became the first Soviet representative to the organization. For almost three decades, from 1957 to 1985, Andrei Gromyko led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming a living symbol of Soviet foreign affairs in those years. Thanks to his active work, dozens of bilateral and multilateral agreements were reached.
The exhibition has united a number of archival documents and photo materials, allowing us to make visual acquaintance with the great diplomatic heritage of Andrei Gromyko, evaluate the scale and diverse characteristics of his personality and his contribution to the development of international relations.
The exhibition was prepared with the Russian Embassy in Belgium.
