Request to handle information reflecting the situation of many historical relics and national heritages being violated

The document stated that the report of the Government Electronic Information Portal on May 23, 2025 informed about the press reflecting the situation of many historical relics and national heritages being violated.

Specifically, a series of historical relics are being seriously encroached upon. The situation of royal tombs being robbed is happening in Thanh Hoa and Hue - where there is a massive system of royal tombs for many years; serious encroachment on relics in the core area of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - a world cultural and natural heritage recognized by UNESCO.

Many historical sites and structures have become hot spots for drug addiction, garbage storage, vandalism, and graffiti. Many restaurants and eateries have sprung up around the sites without permits, directly damaging the landscape and historical value of the heritage site.

Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh commented as follows:

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism shall preside over and coordinate with the People's Committees of the provinces and centrally-run cities: Thanh Hoa, Ninh Binh, Hue and relevant agencies according to their functions, tasks and authority to closely monitor the situation, grasp information reported by the press on the above issues to promptly have appropriate solutions within their authority.

The Deputy Prime Minister also requested the Ministry to coordinate with localities to guide, inspect and supervise the conservation, restoration and embellishment of relics and heritage sites to ensure effective management, protection and promotion of the value of heritage sites and relics nationwide; and report to competent authorities on issues beyond their authority.
