As many as 112 pictures by 32 photographers from regions nationwide, concerning Vietnam’s sovereignty over its sea and islands, are on display at an exhibition which opened in Hanoi on May 28.
The photos illustrate the daily life, work and defence of sovereignty on Vietnam’s sea and island areas.
Of particular note are a number of new photos featuring efforts by Vietnamese coast guards and fishery surveillance forces to protect the nation’s sea and island sovereignty following China’s illegal placement of its drilling rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 in Vietnamese waters.
The exhibition gives visitors an insight into the fact that China’s acts have seriously violated Vietnam’s sovereign rights and jurisdiction prescribed by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), to which China is a signatory.
The event will run until June 5.
