The People’s Committee of Quang Ngai province sent an official dispatch to the Foreign Ministry on February 23, suggesting that it invites the ambassadors of European countries to Vietnam to visit the Truong Luy historical site, which is called the “Great Wall” of Vietnam.
Earlier, the provincial People’s Committee had submitted scientific documentation on the heritage site to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for recognition as a national relic site.
On getting approval, the province will work with the relevant ministries and agencies to compose a file on the rampart to be submitted to the UNESCO for recognition as a world cultural heritage.
