Nha Trang coastal city will not organize the Truong Sa Day at this year’s Sea festival as planned earlier, Khanh Hoa People’s Committee has said.
Earlier, Le Xuan Than, deputy chairman of the province’s Committee, said on March 29 that Truong Sa Day is scheduled to be held on June 15 at Bach Dang Park.
The Day was to feature Truong Sa archipelagos and Vietnamese islands through workshops, photo exhibition, and film screening to affirm Vietnamese sovereignty over Truong Sa (Spratly Islands).
Instead, the organizers said the sea festival themed "Nha Trang - sea rendezvous" will feature more than 60 activities like Miss Khanh Hoa beauty contest, Cau Ngu whale worship fest, bird’s nest fest, cuisine fest, film week, music performances, fashion shows, beer fest, among others from June 2-15.
The biennial fest is aimed at promoting the province’s traditional cultural values and tourism industry to the world.
