(VOV) - The State Records and Archives Department held a ceremony in Hanoi on July 30 to receive the world documentary heritage certificate for the official documents of Nguyen Dynasty.
Addressing the ceremony, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Tuan Anh emphasised that the official documents of the Nguyen Dynasty are of great significance to documenting Vietnam’s territorial sovereignty over its borders, seas and islands.
