As a customary practice, all the fishermen gathered under the national flag and sang the national anthem hoping for a bumper season.
“The national anthem encourages us a lot on our trips. Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) are our traditional fishing grounds, and we will continue to fish there to earn a living and to defend national sea and islands sovereignty”, fisherman Nguyen Sinh Banh stressed.
