Warm Spring in Truong Sa (Spratly) islands

PANO – Along with the people in the whole country, islander soldiers and people in the Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago are welcoming the Lunar New Year with the cozy and joyful atmosphere. The sounds of singing, laughter and the jingle of bell in pagoda make the Tet atmosphere in Truong Sa (Spratly) more cozier.

The PANO would like to introduce some photos reflecting the New Year atmosphere on islands of the Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago.
