At the seminar, students watched a clip introducing Vietnam's seas and islands. Accordingly, Vietnam has a coastline of over 3,260 km stretching from North to South, ranking 27th out of 157 coastal countries, island nations and territories in the world, and is the world's vital shipping route.

According to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, our country has a sea area of ​​over 1 million km2. Our sea area has about 3,000 large and small islands and 2 offshore archipelagos, Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.

In the form of dramatization, the 3 teams of Hoang Sa, Truong Sa and Phu Quoc went through 5 rounds: greeting; quick answer; finding quick answers through facts; crossword game and eloquence.

Through the competitions, the 3 teams focused on promoting the importance of Vietnam’s seas and islands in the new situation. In particular, the undeniable historical evidence and scientific documents affirm the sacred sovereignty of the two archipelagos of Truong Sa and Hoang Sa.
