(VOVworld) – Activities have been underway across Vietnam to mark the country’s 9th Cultural Heritage Day on November 23rd.
These activities aimed to introduce and honor the values of Vietnam’s natural heritage sites, biosphere reserves, the ASEAN Heritage Garden, and national parks. They also called for more social responsibility in protecting and preserving natural heritage sites. Vuong Duy Bien, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said: “We should work together to protect and preserve biosphere reserves, natural heritage sites and national parks. Protecting them is protecting our lives, culture, and eco-system. This is the message of the Green Heritage Tourism Culture Week.”
On this occasion, a roundtable was held in Phu Yen province, which houses 18 national cultural heritage sites and 21 provincial heritage sites. The province has organized a number of festivals to promote and preserve the values of its cultural heritage items in recent years.
