Ho dynasty citadel profile to be submitted to UNESCO in November

On April 9th in Hanoi leaders from Thanh Hoa province met with the National Heritage Council under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism about the Ho dynasty citadel profile proposing UNESCO recognition of it as a world cultural heritage site.

In 2006, the province established a steering committee for making the profile to submit to UNESCO. According to history, the Ho dynasty citadel was built in 1397. It is now situated in Vinh long and Vinh Tien communes, Vinh Loc district. It has four gates: front, back, left and right.

The National Heritage Council appreciated the profile by Thanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee. However, they suggested adjusting several points to meet UNESCO’s requirements.

The profile will be completed and submitted to the National Heritage Council in June 2008, said Ngo Hoai Chung, director of Thanh Hoa provincial Department of Culture and Information.

“If approved, the profile will be submitted to the Prime Minister and translated into English. If approved by the Prime Minister, the profile will be sent to UNESCO in November 2008,” said Mr. Chung.

Mr. Chung also said that he expected that with its great value, the citadel will be recognized as a world cultural heritage site.
