The negotiation between the two sides on the repatriation of the “Hoàng đế chi bảo” (Emperor’s Treasure) gold seal yielded good results, correctly taking the steps in the roadmap for implementing the Plan for the repatriation of antiques drawn up by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and submitted to the Prime Minister.

The treasure of the Nguyen Dynasty is a gold seal cast in 1823 during the reign of King Minh Mang (1820 - 1841) being prepared for auction by an auction company headquartered in France. This information amazes not only the circles of culture, research, and antique collection but also draws special attention from the public because this is prime historical evidence for the history of Vietnam.
