Speaking at the exhibition, comrade Le Ngoc Hoa emphasized that the exhibition of maps and documents on Hoang Sa and Truong Sa in Anh Son district has great significance as this is the resting place of more than 12,000 Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who sacrificed their lives in Laos, were searched for, recovered, and buried by their comrades at the Vietnam - Laos International Cemetery; it is a testament to the solidarity in fighting and sacrificing for the common enemy, for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
The exhibition of maps and documents on Hoang Sa and Truong Sa is an important information and propaganda activity that contributes to raising awareness, solidarity and responsibility of the people at home and overseas, and affirming Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos through published historical documents.
Through the exhibition, it contributes to fostering patriotism, raising awareness and responsibility of cadres, soldiers and people for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. The exhibition will last until July 28./.
