The organisation will stand side by side with Vietnam
in preserving and promoting heritage values via new cooperation
programmes and projects, UNESCO Chief Representative in Vietnam
Katherine Muller Marin said at a press briefing in Hanoi on December 21.
UNESCO recognition of the doctor steles in Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam;
Thang Long Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi; Dong Van stone
plateau, and Giong Festival as world heritages showed Vietnam’s success
in preserving, promoting and upholding the value of heritages in 2010,
Katherine said.
The success also represents the efforts and consideration of the government, she said.
The UNESCO Chief Representative called for Vietnamese people and
relevant agencies to be more responsible in the preservation and
popularisation of cultural heritages.
