Mr. Ian Lister, a British researcher, said that the exhibition has provided sufficient information on the historical evidence of the sovereignty of Vietnam over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.

With the historical evidence consistent with international law, Vietnam should soon bring the evidences to the UN and to enlist the support of the international community in the struggle for the sovereignty of Vietnam over Hoang Sa, Truong Sa and ensure free trade and security, maritime safety in the East Sea, recommended Lister.
