The aid, granted by Poland 's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and channeled through the Polish Embassy in Hanoi, will be used to restore a stone stele house at the mausoleum and provide training to local people in preservation.
The restoration project will be carried out until December at a total cost of more than 1 billion VND (50,000 USD), according to Nguyen Van Cao, Chairman of the Thua Thien-Hue Provincial People's Committee.
