Rear Admiral Nguyen Huu Thoan - Political Commissar of Naval Region 5 Command - said that the unit always promotes propaganda about seas and islands, especially propaganda about legal bases 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 influence, positively impacting the awareness and responsibility of cadres, soldiers and people of all walks of life, especially the young generation, in protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland,” affirmed Rear Admiral Nguyen Huu Thoan.
“The sea and islands are a sacred and inseparable part of the territory of the Vietnamese Fatherland. The Vietnamese State, through the ages, has explored, established and exercised sovereignty over these two archipelagos in a consistent, continuous, peaceful manner, in accordance with international practice and law.
This has been confirmed and recorded in detail in the archives – the documentary heritage of Vietnam and the world that is being preserved at the National Archives Centers,” Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga – Deputy Director of the Department of State Records and Archives – further emphasized.
