Historical maps and documents affirming Vietnam’s sacred and inviolable sovereignty over Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagoes are on display at an exhibition, which kicked off in the central province of Binh Dinh on April 26.
The event, which will open through May 5, is held by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to mark the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975-April 30, 2013) as well as May Day.
The exhibits include 16 maps of Vietnam’s dynasties, copies of such historical documents as administrative records of the Nguyen Dynasty including reports on the operations of Vietnam’s flotillas at the two archipelagoes.
More than 100 photos featuring Hoang Sa and Truong Sa before and after 1975 are also introduced at the exhibition.
