Students come to the exhibition (Photo: VNA) Bac Giang (VNA) – Photos and documents on Vietnam’s Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes are now on display in the northern province of Bac Giang.
The event, opened on April 20, is to mark the 47th anniversary of the liberation of the south (April 30), and the 68th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7).
On show are 80 images and 42 exhibits themed ‘Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to Vietnam: historical and legal evidence’ presented by the Ministry of Information and Communications, together with 180 photos featuring ethnic and religious groups, and mementos of Bac Giang’s soldiers and civilians during wartime.
