Addressing the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hong said the exhibition aims to make public the legal evidence and historical truth on Vietnam’s sovereignty over these islands among Vietnamese people as well as to international friends.
The event also gives viewers an insight into the patriotism and bravery of the previous Vietnamese generations, thus raising the awareness of the need to protect the country’s sovereignty over its sea and islands among Vietnamese people, Hong added.
