The survey trip included delegates: Nguyen Duc Hai - Member of the Party Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly; Ta Van Ha - Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education; Duong Van Phuoc - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Dang Thi Bao Trinh - Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education. Representatives of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and leaders of Thang Binh district.
Reporting to the National Assembly Delegation, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Thanh Hong said that the project to restore the gate of the Sang Tower in the Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery National Special Relic Complex has just been appraised and consulted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for urgent restoration.
According to the plan, in 2025, Quang Nam will allocate funds to relocate graves located near the relic site out of the core zone and support compensation for affected households. Based on the comprehensive zoning, a restoration and conservation plan will be established.
Quang Nam has worked with Indian experts many times, but the Indian side is only focusing on supporting the restoration work at My Son Temple. Later, if Quang Nam completes the planning and archaeology work, and needs to restore any projects, Indian experts will participate.
According to Mr. Hong, the department is currently advising the Provincial People's Committee to register a list of work with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, so it hopes to receive attention from central leaders.
"In the target program for cultural development, the central government should pay attention to investing resources in special national relics and world cultural heritages to help Quang Nam do better in preserving and promoting heritage values," Mr. Hong shared.
According to Mr. Hong, Quang Nam is expected to organize a national scientific conference in 2025. In the near future, the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha will coordinate with the province to conduct a survey and prepare a draft for this conference program.
Quang Nam plans to restore the archaeological site after planning and calling for investment in developing spiritual tourism and strictly protecting the core area to ensure the safety of the relic site.
Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Duc Hai said that the Central Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha is very interested in the Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery National Special Relic Complex. This relic complex has many values in historical research and archaeology.
Comrade Nguyen Duc Hai requested Quang Nam to make every effort to find measures to restore, preserve and promote the values of the relics. Urgently work with relevant ministries and branches to consult and advise experts to find ways to remove difficulties and obstacles in necessary procedures and documents...
Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery was formed and developed around the 9th - 11th centuries. In the early 20th century, archaeological excavations by French scholars discovered a large Buddhist architectural complex, one of the most unique in Southeast Asia. In 2016, Dong Duong Buddhist Monastery was ranked as a special national monument by the Prime Minister. Currently, the relic complex has a protected area of 5.3 hectares.
