Entitled ‘Vietnam’s Hoang Sa and Truong Sa - Historical Evidence’, the exhibition showcases nearly 100 maps published in Vietnam, China, and Western countries from the 16th century onwards, all of which affirm Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
The highlight of the exhibition is a display of a number of royal documents formulated by Vietnamese feudal regimes from the 17th to early 20th centuries.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness among people, especially among the youth, of Vietnam’s authority over the two archipelagos, as well as the importance of protecting the national sea and island sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The exhibition, co-organised by the Ba Ria - Vung Tau provincial People’s Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications, runs until August 29.
After concluding the exhibition, all documents, maps and objects at the exhibition will be presented to Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.
