The nine-day trip, the 11th edition of its kind, was organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Vietnam’s Navy.
Speaking at a ceremony held before the departure, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee Bui Quang Huy, who is also head of the delegation, said the programme has raised a sense of patriotism among participants and helped them understand some of the difficulties facing soldiers on the islands, thus becoming more aware of their responsibility to defend the national sovereignty over seas and islands.
