The exhibition shows that Vietnam has explored and exercised sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands in the East Sea . It has been a continuous and long process and has been recorded in many historic materials that belong to Vietnam and other countries – especially documentation and maps drawn and published from the 16th century to present day.
The event, organised by the province and the Ministry of Information and Communications, helps raise awareness among all Vietnamese people, particularly the young generation, on patriotism, national unity and a sense of responsibility.
