Director of the administration's Department of International Co-operation Shen Zhixiang said government bodies are working to submit a bid. Once the application is approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the protection and development of TCM will be pushed forward. (China Daily)
