In the statement, the country’s intangible culture heritages are in need of international-standard conservation in order that others cannot imitate the culture heritages meeting the standards. The ministry starts working to nominate Myanmar Thanakha culture and tradition to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of the UNESCO.
Myanmar Thanakha meets five domains of the UNESCO Convention 2013, represents the national culture and characteristics and is valued and conserved by the whole Myanmar human society. It also plays an important role in the daily life of Myanmar people such as economy, social and religion. The ministry plans to nominate Myanmar Thanakha on the list as it meets set standards.
The ministry urges the citizens who have been conserving Myanmar Thanakha as the cultural heritage, to fill in the survey form.
