Quang Tri promotes cultural heritage preservation and sustainable development

On March 26, the People's Committee of Quang Tri province held a working session with the delegation of Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung to discuss the progress of the implementation of the Program on preserving and promoting the values ​​of Vietnamese cultural heritage in the period of 2021-2030. The meeting was attended by local leaders, including Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Long Hai, Acting Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Hoang Nam.

Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung spoke at a working session with the People's Committee of Quang Tri province.

In the report, the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that it has implemented many plans to develop culture, sports and tourism, and coordinated with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to promote regional connectivity and attract investment resources. Notably, there are two key projects: the restoration of the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel and the Hien Luong - Ben Hai River Relics, with a total budget of 170 billion VND from the Central Government. However, progress has been slow due to problems with planning, bidding and capital sources.

Acting Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong pledged to accelerate the progress of the projects and proposed that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism support the construction of the National Museum of "Memories of War and Aspiration for Peace" with an investment capital of VND1,000 billion in the period 2026-2030. He also proposed reducing the budget counterpart so that the province can easily implement key cultural programs.

In addition, Quang Tri is preparing a dossier to make the Gio An Ancient Water Exploitation System a UNESCO world cultural heritage, along with projects to preserve national cultural heritage and restore infrastructure at the La Vang Pilgrimage Center.

Concluding the meeting, Minister Nguyen Van Hung acknowledged the province’s efforts in promoting cultural heritage. He suggested that Quang Tri continue to study the special potential of the relics, build a unique cultural brand, and at the same time develop sustainable tourism associated with heritage values.
