12:05, 2015/05/07
The Ministry of Information and Communications on May 5 presented the Naval Academy based in central Khanh Hoa province with maps and documents proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over two archipelagos in the East Sea.
The evidence, numbering over 100 items, have been recognised as legal evidence asserting Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos. 
The items, collected in Vietnam and other countries, are replicas of 19 royal documents from the reign of kings Minh Mang (1820-1841) and Bao Dai (1925-1945) of Vietnam’s Nguyen Dynasty. They also include 60 maps published by Vietnam, China, and western countries since the 16th century.
