HA NOI  (VNS) — An exhibition showcasing photos and documents on Hoang Sa (the Paracel) and Truong Sa (the Spratly) Islands in the East Sea was held at the Cultural Center of Jahrhunderthalle Bochum in Germany recently.

The photos by Nguyen Van Cuong, a Vietnamese living in Berlin, document his journey to the islands in May and feature the hard daily lives and training sessions of Vietnamese naval forces on the islands.

In addition to his photos, many documents, books, CDs and maps proving Viet Nam's sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands were on display.

The exhibition was an opportunity for the Vietnamese community in Germany, as well as international travelers, to learn about daily life on the islands while reviewing important documents and maps about Viet Nam's sovereignty.

This is the second exhibition of its kind organised by Cuong in Germany. The first one was held in Berlin in July. — VNS
