OVs in RoK support East Sea protection programme
(VOV) - At a recent march of the Vietnamese community in Busan, organizers have raised 3.8 million won to support Vietnamese soldiers on duty protecting sovereignty of the Spratly (Truong Sa) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) Islands.
The money will be given to the East Sea protection programme launched by Lao Dong (Labour) newspaper’s Golden Heart Fund.
On behalf of Vietnamese nationals living in the Republic of Korea (RoK), Nguyen Tuong Vi from the organizing board said this is one of activities to express admiration for soldiers and officers’ courage, tenacity and determination to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Over the past time, along with the people nationwide and oversea Vietnamese abroad, the Vietnamese community in the Republic of Korea has launched an array of activities towards the country’s sea and islands.
OVs’ demonstrations took place in all three regions of the RoK to protest China's illegal placement of its oil rig Haiyang Shiyou-982 inside Vietnam’s territorial waters.
