Exhibits include copies of documents written in Chinese, Vietnamese, and French and published by Vietnam’s feudal dynasties and French authorities in Indochina between the 17^th and 20^th century, which confirm Vietnam’s declaration, exercise, and defense of its sovereignty over the Truong Sa and Hoang sa archipelagoes. Notably among them are royal archives of the Nguyen dynasty and administrative documents released by the Southern Vietnam administration between 1954 and 1975. Visitors can view nearly 100 maps published by Vietnam, western countries, and China, proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagoes.

The exhibition will close on Thursday.
