An exhibition opened in Ho Chi Minh City on January 7 displaying maps and other documents evidencing Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes.

The event, entitled ‘Vietnam’s Hoang Sa, Truong Sa – Historical and Legal Evidence’ has been sponsored by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) and the High Command of Military Zone 7.

It is intended to be a complete, concise and authoritative exposition on the issue replete with all pertinent images, documents or other relevant items including maps collected from 45 exhibitions recently held in 31 provinces, 9 islands and 5 army units throughout the country.
