According to the Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department, propaganda work on seas and islands is a long-term, regular and continuous task of the entire political system. Therefore, propaganda and raising people's awareness of the role and position of seas and islands is extremely necessary.

In recent times, propaganda work on seas and islands has achieved great results, contributing significantly to raising people's awareness and love for the seas and islands, and motivating forces that are implementing management and protection of the sovereignty of the seas and islands of the Fatherland.

The conference is an opportunity for delegates to meet, exchange and share good practices and experiences in the work of promoting and protecting Vietnam's sovereignty over seas and islands.

“The world and regional situation continues to evolve rapidly and complicatedly; the trend of peace, cooperation and development faces many challenges. Domestically, the political, economic and social situation is stable; the Party's foreign affairs, State diplomacy and people's diplomacy continue to be maintained and promoted; the country's prestige and position are constantly improving. Hostile forces continue to thoroughly exploit issues of national border sovereignty, sea, islands, ethnicity and religion to propagate distortions and fabrications to sabotage Vietnam and divide the traditional friendship between Vietnam and neighboring countries,” Mr. Vu Thanh Mai emphasized.

In that context, to continue promoting the achieved results, to coordinate the propaganda work on seas and islands to achieve higher quality and efficiency, the Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department requested that all levels, sectors and localities continue to thoroughly grasp the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, Resolution No. 36-NQ/TW dated October 22, 2018 of the 12th Party Central Committee on "Vietnam's sustainable marine economic development strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045"; Resolution No. 44-NQ/TW dated November 24, 2023 of the 13th Party Central Committee on "Homeland protection strategy in the new situation"; Resolution of the National Assembly on "National marine spatial planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050"; relevant directives and regulations of the Party and State...; raise awareness and create consensus among all classes of people on the task of protecting sea and island sovereignty.
