Submit to UNESCO to include "Binh Dinh Traditional Martial Arts" in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

The Deputy Prime Minister authorized the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to sign the dossier on behalf of the Government according to regulations. The Vietnam National Commission for UNESCO shall preside over and coordinate with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and relevant agencies to carry out necessary procedures to submit the dossier of the heritage "Binh Dinh Traditional Martial Arts" to UNESCO, ensuring the time limit according to the provisions of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the law on cultural heritage.

Traditional martial arts of Binh Dinh are not only a martial art, but also the crystallization of the martial spirit, self-reliance and noble culture of the Vietnamese people. The martial arts forms, martial arts techniques, martial arts medicine and martial arts are passed down from generation to generation, deeply expressing the identity of the land and people of Binh Dinh.

In 2012, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism listed Binh Dinh Traditional Martial Arts as a national intangible cultural heritage.
