Hoang Sa, Truong Sa exhibition opens at Border Guard Command

An exhibition of historical and legal evidence proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos has been recently opened at Border Guard Command.

Delegates cut the ribbon to kick off the exhibition.

 

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Information and Communications and Border Guard Command, the exhibition showcases nearly 100 maps, documents, and photos which were collected by domestic and foreign researchers, affirming Viet Nam’s sovereignty over the two islands.

The Ministry of Information and Communications has so far worked with 47 cities and provinces, 10 island districts, and 10 armed force units nationwide to organize 67 exhibitions on Hoang Sa and Truong Sa Islands.
