Since ancient times, the sea and islands have been a part of the sacred sovereignty of the Fatherland. The islands and archipelagos, together with the mainland, have created an environment for the survival and eternal development of our nation. In today's peaceful era, Vietnam is a coastal country with a particularly important strategic position for the region and the world, therefore, the sea and islands are of even greater importance in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.
Our country's coastline stretches from Quang Ninh to Kien Giang with a length of 3,260 km. According to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, our country's sea area is about 1 million km², 3 times the land area, accounting for nearly 30% of the East Sea area and has over 4,000 large and small islands.
Binh Thuan alone has 7 coastal districts, including La Gi town, with a coastline of 192 km stretching from Da Chet cape bordering Ca Na in Ninh Thuan to Binh Chau alluvial land in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. The territorial sea area is 52,000 km², one of the 3 largest fishing grounds in the country, with an annual seafood output of over 220 thousand tons.
Mr. Nguyen Le Thanh - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications, affirmed: For generations, the two archipelagos of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa have become sacred and familiar places for every Vietnamese person living in Vietnam and around the world. Throughout its history, our nation has explored, established and exercised sovereignty over these two archipelagos consistently and continuously. This is recorded in Vietnam's historical documents and materials, and internationally recognized in many other documents, maps and administrative documents.
