Professional and amateur photographers across Vietnam are encouraged to compete in a photo contest highlighting the beauty of Vietnamese Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands.
Fifteen DK platforms in the waters of the southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau not only served as the collection of scientific information on the ocean and sea economy but also are the sovereignty marks in Vietnam’s continental shelf.
The commemoration of the Gac Ma Battle in March is an occasion to honour officers and soldiers who live and work on the DK platforms amid the vast sea, many of whom sacrificed their lives to safeguard the national sovereignty at sea.
