The Party Committee and Command of the Naval Force today organized a conference to summarize the five-year coordinated program on maritime and island propaganda from 2019 to 2024 in Hai Phong City.
According to the Naval Force, each year the unit sends over 1,600 officials and reporters to various localities to conduct propaganda on maritime and islands for different audiences. On average, each year, the Naval Force's reporting team directly conducts propaganda for 1.3 million officials, party members, civil servants, employees, people, and students.
Reporting teams disseminate information about Vietnamese maritime and island law and relevant international treaties to which Vietnam is a party; the position and importance of the sea and islands, the actual situation in Vietnam's sea and island areas, the legal basis affirming Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos, the plots and sabotage of hostile forces and new developments in the East Sea.
Additionally, reporters also talked about the results of the struggle to protect sovereignty by the forces on duty at sea and the Party's and State's viewpoint on resolving maritime disputes through peaceful means based on international law.

Through these trips, delegates have witnessed firsthand, deepened their understanding, and gained a clear understanding of the homeland's sea and islands.

It will continue to promote foreign defense propaganda in the maritime direction; to combat and refute distorted and false arguments about Vietnam's maritime and island sovereignty.
On this occasion, the Naval Force proposes to the Central Propaganda Department to build a comprehensive strategy for maritime and island propaganda and proactively prepare the basic legal elements to serve timely political, legal, and diplomatic struggles to affirm maritime and island sovereignty.
At the same time, forecasting situations to have a plan for synchronous coordinated propaganda and struggle in conjunction with situations at sea, aiming to combine political, diplomatic, and legal struggles with on-the-ground struggles.
