The “Truong Sa in Our Hearts” exhibition will feature 120 photos which the photographers captured during their journeys to Truong Sa Archipelago.

These photographers include chairman of the Vietnam Artistic Photo Association (VAPA) Vu Quoc Khanh, vice director of the Department of Fine Art, Photography, and Exhibition Tran Thi Thu Dong, and editor-in-chief of Dat Mui pictorial Le Nguyen.

The exhibition was initiated by Thu Dong after her first trip to Truong Sa, which awoke her love for the archipelago and urged her to introduce the life of soldiers and residents on Truong Sa to the mainland.

The exhibition is also aimed to reaffirm Vietnam’s sovereignty over its seas and islands, and call for peace and stability in the East Sea.
