Nearly 100 maps along with many documents, objects and publications proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos are on display at an exhibition that opened on August 7 in Phan Rang-Thap Cham city, the central province of Ninh Thuan. 

The display, jointly held by the Ministry of Information and Communications and the provincial People’s Committee, aims to promote national unity and the sense of responsibility among residents, especially youths, for protecting and claiming the country’s sovereignty over its sea and islands. 

The exhibits, which are compiled and collected by domestic and international researchers and scholars, feature the process that Vietnam established and exercised its sovereignty over the two archipelagoes. 

Among them are four sets of maps and other 30 maps published by China through different periods which show that Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes don’t belong to the country. 

Following the five-day event, the ministry will hand over the exhibits to Ninh Thuan province for preservation and public display.-VNA
