archipelago.
The coral, which symbolises the nation’s sovereignty over its seas and islands, are engraved with the names of each island, as well as their longitudes and latitudes.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Deputy Political Commissar of the Navy, Admiral Nguyen Cong Hoa, confirmed that the coral’s strength and durability reflect Vietnam’s sacred sovereignty over the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa (Paracels) archipelagos.
The presentation of the coral aims to educate and raise the awareness of the Vietnamese people, especially young people, on the importance of protecting the sovereignty of Vietnam’s continental shelf, its territorial waters and islands, he said.
