Performances praising the seas, islands and patriotism were staged by artists who recently visited Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago and other islands southeast of the mainland. The event also include the exchange with naval soldiers who defend Vietnam’s sea and island sovereignty. The money will be used to aid naval soldiers, border and coastal guards, fishery surveillance staff, fishermen, and other people living in border areas and islands.
