The five-day exhibition aims to raise public awareness of sea and island sovereignty protection and help international friends, including Chinese nationals, understand correctly the East Sea situation as well as the legitimate aspiration of the Vietnamese people to maintain peace and stability in the East Sea and the region for national development, he said.
Following the exhibition, the documents and maps will be moved to remote areas across the province for further display.
On the same day, a similar exhibition was opened in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang and it will run until September 4.
