An exhibition providing indisputable documentary evidence of Vietnam`s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes opened at Dak Lak Museum on January 6.
On display are documents, items, publications and nearly 150 maps collected by domestic and international researchers and scholars.
The exhibits demonstrate that Vietnamese States, from feudal to current socialist regimes, have exercised sovereignty over the two groups of islands in the East Sea.
As well as Vietnamese, Chinese and French documents dating from the 17th to the early 20th centuries, the exhibition displays 20 copies of the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945), featuring the Vietnamese State’s exploitation, management and implementation of the sovereign rights at Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.
It also includes documents and publications published by Western countries from the 18th to 19th centuries related to Vietnam’s sovereignty over the two groups of islands and versions of administrative documents of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam issued from 1975 to present day..
Visitors have the opportunity to see four atlas’ and 30 historical maps published by China showing that China are not associated with Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.
The exhibition helps raise the awareness of Vietnamese people, both at home and abroad, of their role in protecting the two archipelagos.
The event will run until January 21 and then travel to other localities in the Central Highland region.
This is the fifth exhibition of its kind, following similar ones held in Ha Tinh, Thai Nguyen, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi.
