(VOVworld) - Sixty posters featuring Vietnam’s sea and island sovereignty by painters nationwide are on display at an exhibition, which opened in Ho Chi Minh City on Friday.

Entitled ‘resolutely defending Vietnam’s border, sea, and islands, the exhibition includes works selected from a national-level campaign to create placards affirming the country’s sovereignty over its sea and islands.
The exhibition also showcases 11 historical maps drawn up by Vietnam and Western nations and a collection of administrative records from the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945). These are evidence proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes, which were found and protected by the Vietnamese people through various eras.

The exhibition has attracted a lot of young people

Lam Dung Dat from Ho Chi Minh City visited the exhibition and said: “through the exhibit, I feel proud of Vietnam’s sea and islands. The exhibition helps educate young people about the national sovereignty and each of us will have a greater belief in the Party and State’s leadership.”

The exhibition will run until next Sunday.
