A number of activities are scheduled during the week, including a ceremony marking the 88th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of the General Offensive and Uprising, a flower street and artistic lights along Can Tho Bridge and Xang Thoi Lake, a music festival and firework setting.

The event will afford the city a chance to introduce its potential and strengths in culture, sports and tourism and create a bridge linking up artists and athletes together.

On the occasion, the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism held an exhibition on maps and materials on Vietnam’s Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes – historic and legal evidence.

In Luu Huu Phuoc park, the organizing board displayed 186 photos and 800 books reflecting Vietnam’s sovereignty, sovereign and jurisdiction rights over waters, continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
