Secretary of Phu Tho Provincial Party Committee, Bui Minh Chau, said that the inauguration and putting into use of the project before the Lunar New Year 2019 has a very practical meaning. It will create the most favorable conditions for people across the country when they visit the Hung Kings Temple during the Lunar New Year and the Hung Kings Temple Festival 2019 and the following years, contributing to preserving and promoting the values of the Hung Kings temple relic site, he add.
