The delegation had more than 200 members, including 47 overseas Vietnamese from 22 countries across the world. They toured some islands and the DK1/16 Platform, and joined many meaningful activities, such as a flag raising ceremony in Truong Sa Island, offering incense to pay tribute to fallen soldiers, and art exchanges, among others.
