Vietnam, in coordination with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), has recently started the second phase of the project on the preservation of My Son World Cultural Heritage Site.

According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the site, especially the G temple complex, was heavily damaged by both time and wars.

The second phrase of the project will also complete the restoration of the G1 temple, and help to improve knowledge on the preservation of cultural heritage according to international standards among Vietnamese archaeologists, architects, cultural heritage experts and managers.

The total cost of USD 435,000 for the second phrase of the project will come from the Lerici Foundation together with matching funds of over VND 300 million from the provincial budget.
