The exhibition titled “Hoang Sa and Truong Sa of Vietnam – Historical and Legal Evidence” aims to enhance the public’s awareness of and responsibility for protecting the country’s sovereignty over sacred seas and islands, while recalling the sacrifice of generations to guard those seas and islands, and confirming the Vietnamese Party, State and people’s determination to firmly safeguard the nation as well as its sea and island sovereignty.

A digital exhibit started from September 18 at Vo Van Ky secondary school in the central province Khanh Hoa province, to offer students an insight into the historical and legal evidence proving the nation’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos, VOV reported.

During the three-day event, all students and teachers have the chance to watch 3D films that feature Vietnamese sovereignty over the two groups of island in the South China Sea in accordance with international law.

Furthermore, various photos and documents about the country’s sea and islands which have been collected by both domestic and foreign researchers and scholars are also on display.

Some photos capturing the daily life of soldiers and people on Hoang Sa and Truong Sa are also being exhibited at the event.

Notably, students are encouraged to participate in contests on the two archipelagos, helping to raise their awareness and responsibility for the cause of national construction and defense.

The exhibition is scheduled to take place in nine schools across Nha Trang city up to October 21 as part of a public communication campaign to assert Vietnamese sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.
