Restoration of HUE


Laos provides wood for restoration of Hue relics

Laotian authorities have recently pledged to provide Vietnam with suitable timber to restore ancient royal relics in central Vietnam in preparation for coming festivals to be held there.
Laos’ Sekong province agreed to provide 150 cubic meters of high quality timber for restoring series of historical sites in the former imperial city of Hue, said Phan Ngoc Tho, a senior official of the provincial Thua Thien - Hue People’s Committee.
The kind of wood, suitable for carving, will be used for the repair of wooden structures in the relics that were damaged by floods last year.



They all need timely restorations to serve visitors during the Hue Festival 2008, Tho said.
This is the second time Laos has given Vietnam a large amount of wood.

Previously, the Lao government donated 200 cubic meters of precious wood for central province of Thua Thien-Hue to restore relics.
