On display were close to 200 documents, maps, photos, and archival items, which reflect the establishment, exercise, and defence of Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly).
They presented objective and verifiable historical and legal proof of Vietnam’s maritime sovereignty while underscoring the unyielding resolve, patriotism, and contributions of generations of Vietnamese soldiers and citizens.
Among the items were invaluable archival holdings preserved at national centres, including the Nguyen Dynasty imperial edicts and woodblock records, both UNESCO-listed world documentary heritage, alongside maps, administrative documents, photos, and historical records of significant value for the study of national history and maritime sovereignty.
