Binh Dinh in the Course of Reconstruction and Development
A landscape photo-montage headed 'Binh Dinh building and developing' shows a ribbon-cutting for a bridge by a Vietnamese and a Korean lieutenant general, a man placing a ballot in a box, a new primary school, a fish market and a vegetable trial plot. Captions credit each to the provincial reconstruction programme. The tell is the accumulation of ceremony, voting and building images, with the presence of senior officers lending official standing to each.
