Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the steering board, concludes the meeting.

The dossier building project is set to run between 2021 and 2025 in Hoa Binh with the participation of six other localities – Hanoi, Son La, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Phu Tho, and Dak Lak. Divided into four phase, it is estimated to cost more than 15 billion VND (648,672 USD).

The dossier is expected to be submitted to the Prime Minister asking for permission for its submission to the UNESCO in 2023 in hope of being recognised in 2025. The accreditation will help increase the position of the cultural heritage in the national and global levels.

To date, the preparation work has been underway, with a draft plan and cost estimates done, a roadmap for implementing the project reported to the provincial Party Committee’s standing board, and documents seeking feedback of the six localities for their participation sent.

Concluding the meeting, Toan stressed the project consists of many tasks involving a large number of agencies thus needing a detailed plan that outlines specific tasks, responsibilities, and deadlines.

The conduction of some work items ought to be accelerated within 2021 to set the foundation for upcoming tasks, he added.

The building of the project must seek comments from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and localities involved, the official noted./.
