The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts in collaboration with Siem Reap provincial administration and APSARA National Authority will organise the “Memorial Night 2022” on Dec. 14.
The spectacular cultural event, to be held at the eastern compound of Angkor Wat Temple in Siem Reap province from 17:00, is aimed to mark the 30th anniversary of the inscription of Angkor Archeological Park on the UNESCO World Heritage List, said the ministry in an announcement issued this evening.

The Ministry of Culture took the opportunity to remind that the protection and preservation of cultural heritage is the duty of every Cambodian.
