Previously, on April 9, 2024, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued Decision No. 952/QD-BVHTTDL announcing the list of national intangible cultural heritages, including the heritage of "Decorative art on Lao costumes" in Dien Bien district and Dien Bien Dong district, Dien Bien province. This is a scientific legal basis, not only affirming the attention of the Party and State in honoring cultural heritages, but also promoting, propagating, preserving and developing intangible cultural heritages associated with local socio -economic development.
In order to promote and preserve the value of cultural heritage, in recent years, Dien Bien and Dien Bien Dong districts have opened training courses on preserving and promoting traditional costumes of some ethnic minorities in the area. In particular, they focus on opening classes to teach methods, skills, and decoration processes on traditional costumes of Lao people. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen trade promotion, promote, develop brands and expand the consumption market for products from Lao ethnic brocade weaving. Products such as dresses, shirts, handbags, scarves, etc. are displayed, introduced and sold at exhibition fairs and have been put on e-commerce platforms and social networks for many people to know. The locality has organized competitions on making costumes, embroidering and weaving brocade patterns, and performing Lao costumes to introduce the beauty, value of traditional costumes, and the unique cultural identity of Lao people.
Currently, in Dien Bien province, there are 41 artisans who have been awarded the title of "Excellent Artisan" by the President in the field of intangible cultural heritage (including 2 Lao ethnic artisans); 20 intangible cultural heritages have been included in the list of national intangible cultural heritages, of which Lao ethnic group has 3 heritages, including: Decorative art on costumes, Water Festival, and dance art.
