金門積極推動登錄成為世界文化遺產

Kinmen's application for World Cultural Heritage has drawn the media's attention again. March 7th, Hong Kong Phoenix TV conducted a special interview with Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi on the issue of World Cultural Heritage listing.
　 金門申請世界文化遺產的動作再受媒體矚目！香港鳳凰衛視電視台7日特別針對「申遺」議題專訪縣長李沃士。

Magistrate Li stated that the application for World Heritage is beneficial to the local cultural and tourism industry. He was glad that Kinmen is among the eighteen potential sites for World Heritage listing planned by the Executive Yuan. The Council for Cultural Affairs also agreed to make Kinmen a model. Li mentioned, based on the analysis of scholars and experts, it would be difficult for Kinmen's application to succeed if it tries to apply on its own. If it can ally (1) itself with other cities to facilitate the agenda, it would not be much easier.
　 李沃士表示，世界遺產的申請對地方文化、觀光都有很大的幫助，很高興金門也在行政院所規劃的申遺十八個潛力點之一，且文建會同意將金門列為示範點。他說，據學者專家分析，金門若單獨申遺困難度較高，若能聯合其他城市共同推動，難度會低一些。

Because of this, Li, Wo-Shi had presented a speech on the ""Cross-strait Cooperation In the Application of World Heritage" in the City Forum of the Third Cross-Strait (Xiamen) Cultural Industries Fair. He expected Kinmen, Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou to cooperate and push their applications forward for world heritage listing.
　 有鑑於此，李沃士曾在第三屆海峽兩岸（廈門）文化產業博覽交易會的「城市論壇」中，以「兩岸共同申遺」為題進行演講，希望與閩南四地（金廈漳泉）攜手共進，一起推動申請世遺。


Magistrate Li also said that the county government will set a six-year base period and integrate military remains and facilities during the cold war and contact its Xiamen counterpart. The opportunity to succeed in the world heritage application will increase through such multidimensional (2) cooperation. Magistrate Li felt that Taiwan and Mainland are currently cooperating on the facilitation of "Chinese character heritage application" through the National Cultural Association. Therefore, he believed the application of the Cross-strait mutual southern-Min for culture heritage wouldn't be a problem.
　 李沃士表示，縣府將以六年為基期，同時整合後冷戰時期兩岸對抗所遺留的軍事遺址和設施，與大陸廈門方面接觸，透過多面向合作，使申請世遺更有機會。李沃士說，兩岸目前正透過文化總會合作推動「漢字申遺」，如果此事合作，相信兩岸以閩南文化共同申遺，也不成問題。

Currently, Kinmen has actively established the "World Cultural Heritage Facilitation Committee". It is anticipated that cross-strait consensus will be shaped and actions can be taken concurrently (3).
　 目前金門已積極成立「世界文化遺產推動委員會」，期盼能凝聚兩岸共識，共同出擊。
