Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) are two big archipelagos with key strategic locations among Vietnam’s islands, and the country’s sovereignty over them is clearly reflected through historical documents.

Vietnam has always upheld the principles and goals of the United Nations Convention on the 1982 Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982) while contributing to the implementation of the convention.

Vietnam has long been persistent and consistent in safeguarding its national sovereignty in the East Sea through peaceful measures on the basis of international law to maintain peace, stability, security and cooperation at sea for the legitimate interests of all parties.

On duty on remote islands, what garrisons stationed on Truong Sa archipelago need the most is the understanding of people in the rear so that they are assured to protect the country sea and island.

Soldiers stationed on Truong Sa island are acting as a bridge to popularise the law to fishermen who are fishing offshore, helping them feel secure to cling to the sea and abide by the law.
