Projects range from intangible heritage, such as the music of the Tay minority people and ethnic cham ceremonial songs, to aspects of tangible heritage such as statues and religious objects, temples, paintings, and citadels.
US Government support for cultural preservation has helped the nation to preserve invaluable cultural assets and has served to strengthen relations between the two countries.
