A delegation from Hue City, led by Mr. Pham Duc Tien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, and Chairman of the City People's Council, alongside the Working Group No. 8 of the Vietnam People’s Navy, recently conducted a visit to soldiers and civilians on 7 islands in the Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago and at the DK1/16 Phuc Tan Platform.

In addition to training and being ready for combat, physical training and sports activities are always given special attention by officers and soldiers stationed in Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago. Sports not only help improve physical fitness and ease homesickness for the mainland, but they also act as a "bonding agent" that strengthens the connection between comrades, and between the military and civilians.
