Therefore, the National Committees of the ASPAC region are cordially asked to arrange to send their countries’ laws on cultural heritage and/or museums (texts in native and/or other languages) to <icomaspac@gmail.com> no later than 12th July 2019. Thank you very much for your kind participation in advance.
