Co-organised by the associations of Vietnamese expatriates and students, the event displayed hundreds of photos and documents on the history of Vietnam’s sea and islands as well as the country’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
It introduced visitors to the maritime potential of the Southeast Asian country, which boasts more than 3,000 islands and a coastline spanning over 3,260 km.
Speakers of the event noted that China’s illegal construction and militarisation of artificial islands in the East Sea not only have negatively impacted security and safety of navigation and overflight in the region but also have hindered Vietnam from tapping its sea and island tourism potential.
A number of presented studies requested China to restrain from such activities and respect international law.
The event also included a musical concert, a fashion show and a food festival.-VNA
