Many forums and clubs in support of Hoang Sa – Truong Sa and Vietnam’s seas and islands have been established in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary or the Republic of Korea.

In Europe, the clubs and forums’ members regularly meet and support each other in their daily life.

In March, a club named “Love Vietnam’s seas and islands” was launched in Paris following the movement “All for Vietnam’s seas and islands” that is spreading across Europe. This is the 5th organization established by people who love Vietnamese sea and islands in Europe.
