HA NOI (VNS) — As many as 200 artifacts documenting the central Party's and President Ho Chi Minh's ideology on protecting the country's maritime and island territory are on display at an exhibition in Ha Noi.

Titled Ho Chi Minh with Viet Nam's Sea and Islands, the exhibition showcases historical evidence of Viet Nam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) islands and the nation's reactions to China's illegal placement of oil rig in Vietnamese waters.

Various letters and pieces of writing by President Ho to navy soldiers and fishermen are also on display, alongside maps, photos, documents, among other objects.

The exhibition will be on display at the Ho Chi Minh Museum, 19 Ngoc Ha Street, until mid August. — VNS
