Exhibition on Vietnam’s sovereignty over sea, islands
Vov/Hanoitimes 15:45, 2014/05/29
About 112 photographs featuring Vietnamese sea and islands are on display at an exhibition, which opened in Hanoi on May 28.

They illustrate the daily life and work and defence of sovereignty over sea and islands.

The exhibition includes the latest photos on the struggle to defend Vietnam’s sovereignty over sea and islands, against China’s illegal placement of drilling oil rig at Vietnam’s Exclusive Economic Zone and continental shelf.
 

 

The photos depict how Vietnam’s coast guards approached the oil rig, escaped Chinese ships’ attacks, and exercised restraint to reduce tension.

 The exhibition gives visitors fresh insight into China’s violation and helps raise photographers’ voice demanding China to withdraw its oil rig from Vietnam’s EEZ.

At the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ho Anh Tuan said that the exhibition conveys a message of peace and solidarity to people across the country and around the world. It asserts Vietnam’s strength and sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spartly) archipelagoes.

The exhibition will run until June 5.
