The northern province of Ninh Binh is expected to celebrate a decade of being recognised as a world cultural and natural heritage by UNESCO with a wide range of activities taking place throughout the year.
This information was unveiled at a press conference held by the People's Committee of Ninh Binh province.
Upon addressing the event, Tran Song Tung, vice chairman of the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that the locality is set to launch diverse activities to strengthen community cohesion, promote stronger cultural exchanges, and elevate the image of the Trang An cultural heritage site to both domestic and international tourists.
