Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang municipal People’s Committee Tran Nam Hung said that since being assigned with state management over Hoang Sa, the city has always regarded this as a particularly important political task. Director of the Department of Home Affairs and Chairwoman of the Hoang Sa Special Zone People’s Committee Tran Thi Kim Hoa said the project not only creates a clear administrative identity for the special zone, but also contributes to affirming Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and promoting education on patriotism, as well as the image of Hoang Sa to the public and visitors.
