Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh said, after 47 years of development, ASEAN has made big progress in the process of community building. ASEAN countries have made strategic decisions to preserve and promote cultural heritage and expand cooperation with partners outside the region, especially China, Japan and South Korea.
The conference ended on Sunday.
During its two year term holding this title, Hue will play a role in enhancing exchanges and cooperation between cultures and civilizations, raising awareness in the people in Southeast Asia about the value of ASEAN identity.
Hue is one of the main cultural, religious and educational centers of Vietnam. So far, Hue remains to be the only originally historical vestiged city in Vietnam. Many of Hue’s attractions are found along the banks of the romantically named Perfume River with 11km length. This valuable construction includes more than 100 architectural works, which are the reflection of the life of Emperors and mandarins under Nguyen’s reign.
