Rear Admiral Nguyen Huu Thoan – Political Commissar of the 5th Naval Region Command – stated that the unit always promotes propaganda on the sea and islands, especially disseminating information about the legal basis and historical evidence affirming Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.
"This is a large and meaningful exhibition that will certainly create a strong and widespread impact, positively affecting the awareness and responsibility of officers, soldiers, and all strata of the people, especially the younger generation, in protecting the sovereignty of the country's seas and islands," affirmed Rear Admiral Nguyen Huu Thoan.
"The sea and islands are an inseparable and sacred part of the Vietnamese Fatherland. Throughout history, the Vietnamese State has consistently, continuously, peacefully , and appropriately explored, established, and exercised sovereignty over these two archipelagos in accordance with international law and practical realities."
"This has been confirmed and documented in detail in the archival materials – the documentary heritage of Vietnam and the world being preserved at the National Archives Centers," Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga, Deputy Director of the State Archives and Records Department, further emphasized.
10 years of connecting hearts for our beloved Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands.
