PANO – An exhibition, titled “Hoang Sa (Paracel), Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelagos Belongs to Vietnam – Historical and Legal Evidence”, was kicked off on October 13 in Tinh Gia district, Thanh Hoa province, by the provincial Department of Information and Communications.

Delegates and students at the exhibition

On display are various documents, publications and nearly 100 maps, which include released collections of valuable research projects by domestic and international researchers on the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes of Vietnam; exhibits and photos as firm and irrefutable evidence of Vietnam’s sovereignty over the two archipelagos.

These exhibits also contribute to denying wrong arguments and attempts to distort the history as well China’s irrational claim for sovereignty over the two archipelagos.

In addition, the exhibition also introduces images and documents on socio-economic, cultural, maritime and daily-life activities of local people in coastal Tinh Gia district and the Nghi Son Economic Zone, Thanh Hoa province.

This exhibition aims to raise public awareness of the country’s sovereignty over the national seas and islands, and to strengthen national unity among locals, especially the youth, for the cause of protecting national sovereignty over the seas and islands.
