HCMC takes care of cultural heritage preservation

The Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in conjunction with the Ho Chi Minh City Museum, have organised a seminar to discuss archaeology during the urbanisation period.
The event, with the participation of representatives from agencies and organisations as well as leading experts, focused on two main topics, HCMC’s archaeological activities during the last three decades and measures to preserve cultural relics and architecture.
The participants at the seminar also talked about cultural heritage preservation.
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Hau, Vice-Head of the HCMC Research and Development Institute, said that it is necessary to gather information and data to map regional and national archaeological areas and to take measures to maintain ancient archaeology relics.
The participants also requested that local relevant agencies in urban management should have plans to protect and upgrade architecture heritages.
