Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Vuong Duy Bien said, in solidarity with people nationwide painters and sculptors have strongly opposed China’s illegal placement of its oil rig HaiyangShiyou–981 in Vietnam’s continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
The latest artworks on the East Sea illustrate the opinions of painters, promote the nation’s patriotic tradition and reflect the determination to protect the country’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The exhibition is of great significance in conveying a message of patriotic spirit to people nationwide and to international friends who love peace. It also affirms the national unity and strength of Vietnamese people and the country’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
