Exhibition highlights Vietnamese sovereignty over seas and islands
VOV.VN - An exhibition displaying maps and documentaries that assert Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos opened on October 24 in Nui Thanh district of the central province of Quang Nam.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Pham Hong Quang, director of the provincial Department of Information and Communication, recalled that in 2015 Quang Nam was the first locality nationwide that held mobile exhibitions of maps and materials testifying to the country’s sovereignty over the two groups of islands in the East Sea.
The three-day exhibition offers visitors an insight into solid evidence of the country’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa, thereby helping to refute history distortions and groundless sovereignty claims over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa in the East Sea.
To date, the Ministry of Information and Communications has organised a total of 101 exhibitions affirming national sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa in 63 provinces and cities, 11 island districts, 23 armed force units, five universities, and 61 high schools nationwide.
The Ministry also hosted three such exhibitions abroad, in Prague (Czech Republic) in July, 2017; Paris (France) in October, 2017; and Moscow (Russia) in November, 2018.
