Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has recently approved a project designed to preserve and promote the culture of ethnic minority groups in Vietnam until 2020.
The project emphasises the central role of the community in developing and implementing initiatives for the benefit of local people, said the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism at a press conference in Hanoi on August 18.
The State will support and create favourable conditions for the preservation and development of special cultural identities of ethnic minority groups.
The VND1,512 billion project is divided into two phases, with the first phase from this year to 2015 and the second phase from 2016 to 2020, said Hoang Duc Hau, Head of the ministry’s Ethnic Culture Department.
It targets ethnic minority groups in remote areas, especially in the Northwest, Central Highlands and Southwest, Hau said, noting that such groups are unable to preserve and promote their own cultures, which are on the brink of falling into oblivion.
The project includes six smaller tasks with a focus on creating an inventory of cultural heritages of ethnic minorities, improving capacity to preserve and promote cultures, eliminating unsound customs and combining economic development with cultural conservation.
