Addressing the opening ceremony, Pham Hong Quang, Director of the provincial Department of Information and Communication, said that in 2015, Quang Nam became the first province in the country to organize mobile exhibitions showcasing maps and materials substantiating Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos in the East Sea.
The three-day exhibition provides visitors with valuable insights into the solid evidence supporting Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa, countering historical distortions and baseless sovereignty claims made by other parties in the East Sea.
To date, the Ministry of Information and Communications has organised a total of 101 exhibitions affirming Vietnam's sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa in 63 provinces and cities, 11 island districts, 23 armed force units, five universities, and 61 high schools across the country.
The Ministry has organized three similar exhibitions abroad, namely in Prague (Czech Republic) in July, 2017, Paris (France) in October 2017, and Moscow (Russia) in November 2018.
