At the ceremony, VASS President Associate Prof. Dr. Bui Nhat Quang said the area has given a facelift to the NA House and affirmed the sound guidelines of the Party and the State in preserving and upholding heritage values of the Thang Long royal citadel.
This will be a highlight in promoting Vietnam’s cultural heritage to foreign leaders, as well as Vietnamese and international tourists in the time head, he said.
