Visitors to the event can see evidence confirming that Vietnam
has established and exercised its sovereignty over the two archipelagos
in a peaceful and continuous manner in line with international law. They
include a certificate of birth, issued in 1940 by the French
administrative agency in Hoang Sa to Mai Kim Quy, who was born in the
archipelago, and a decree of the Governor-General of Indochina dividing
the Hoang Sa administrative district into two districts belonging to
Thua Thien province.
Also on the display are items on the Vietnam People’s Navy
liberating and taking over islands of Truong Sa archipelago in 1975, and
Vietnamese soldiers’ activities to safeguard the archipelago, including
a liaison machine, a flag, binoculars and first-aid stretchers.
The exhibition displays photos featuring China’s violations of
Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, and Chinese
ships’ sinking of a Vietnamese fishing boat and ramming of Vietnamese
coast guard vessels.
On the same day, photos and documents affirming Vietnam’s
sovereignty over the two archipelagos are also put on show in central
Thua Thien-Hue province and southern Dong Nai province.
