(VOVworld)- Hoang Sa district in Da Nang City began the construction of the Hoang Sa exhibition centre on Monday. The facility with four storeys has an investment of 40 billion VND (1.78 million USD).

Located at Hoang Sa Street in Son Tra district, the exhibition house will be used to showcase documentaries and moving pictures featuring the establishment and exercise of Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa archipelago throughout different periods in history. Dang Viet Dung is Vice Chairman of Da Nang Municipal People’s Committee: “The exhibition displays not only historical facts but also legal and historical evidence affirming Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos. This is a place for Vietnamese people of different generations to learn more about Vietnam’s tradition of construction and defense”.
The municipal administration will provide technical assistance to the exhibition house. Among exhibits there will be official documents dating back to before the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) about the archipelago’s geographical location and natural conditions and documents from China and western nations on Vietnam’s sovereignty over the archipelago. Materials on Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa from 1858-1954, 1954-1974 and documents on the Vietnamese State’s management of Hoang Sa since 1975 will also be displayed at the house.

The centre is built with the goal of raising relevant public’s awareness about national sovereignty.
