Cultural Bureau (IC) President Leung Hio Ming said yesterday his bureau was attaching great importance to the draft decisions released last week by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, which expressed concern about some local heritage sites’ state of preservation.
Leung made the remarks during a hastily organised press conference at the bureau yesterday afternoon.
Having analysed a report on the state of conservation of the Macau Historic Centre submitted by the Beijing-based State Administration of Cultural Heritage on behalf of the local government, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Paris published its analysis and draft decisions last week.
