At the meeting, the opinions of the clan representatives as well as the relevant members attending the meeting highly agreed on the policy of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Provincial People's Committee to soon overcome the situation of visitors' donation money being placed arbitrarily in relics as has been the case for a long time.

Accordingly, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism must advise the Provincial People's Committee to submit to the Provincial Party Standing Committee for opinions on the plan to place donation boxes according to the direction of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Accordingly, in the immediate future, the pilot donation boxes will be placed at 02 locations: President Ho Chi Minh Memorial House and Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan's Tomb, based on Decision No. 18/2016/QD-UBND, dated February 16, 2016 of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee on Regulations on receiving, managing and using donations at historical, cultural relics and scenic spots in Nghe An province, with proposed adjustments to suit the actual operating conditions of Kim Lien Relic Site.

The pilot placement of donation boxes at the above two locations is proposed to be implemented within 3 months after the pilot placement of donation boxes is approved by the Provincial Party Standing Committee. After the pilot period, the Department of Culture and Sports will evaluate and report the results. If effective, it will submit a request for approval to place donation boxes at the relics belonging to the Kim Lien National Special Relic Complex and advise on the Decision on the Regulations on receiving and using donations at the Kim Lien Relic Complex according to current regulations of the State.
