via Vietnam Plus, 17 March 2021: Vietnam is seeking nominations for naming a new round of national treasures.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has sent a document to ministries, sectors, socio-political organisations, and People’s Committees of provinces and cities requesting more efforts to protect, preserve and promote the values of national treasures.
The ministry also urged making dossiers seeking the recognition of national treasures in the 10th batch in 2021.
As of late 2020, Vietnam had 215 national treasures approved by the Prime Minister, which are being conserved by organisations and individuals of the Party Central Committee Office, the Ministries of Home Affairs and National Defence, and the People’s Committees of several provinces and centrally-run cities.
