At the ceremony, the Prime Minister emphasized that the recognition of this complex by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage is not only a source of pride for the three provinces and cities, but also a tribute to the unique values of Truc Lam Buddhism in shaping the identity and spirit of the Vietnamese nation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has put forward many important requirements and solutions to preserve and promote heritage values. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of completing the national and local legal framework to protect inter-provincial heritage. At the same time, the Prime Minister requested specific regulations on the roles and responsibilities of management agencies and communities in coordinating conservation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: “Each citizen will be a 'cultural ambassador' in continuing to spread, propagate and promote the unique image of this important complex of relics and landscapes to international friends, especially on digital platforms, and affirm that the people are both the center and the subject in the process of heritage development.
