The one-week long exhibition aims to contribute to affirming the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland; strengthen education and knowledge about official history and geopolitics with international legal value on sea and island issues in our country to officials, workers and students of the Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City.

Dr. Le Thi Ngoc Diep, head of the Council of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, said that the sea and islands play an important role in our country. It is the driving force for economic development, contributing to the industrialization and modernization of the country as well as ensuring national defense, security and territorial sovereignty.

"I hope the exhibition will help lecturers, staff and students of the school improve their knowledge about the country's islands and seas, thereby enhancing patriotism and national pride," Diep emphasized.
