Commemorating, 30th Anniversary of Angkor's Archaeological Park Inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List

Phnom Penh: December 14, 2022, is the 30th anniversary of the inclusion of Angkor Archaeological Park in the UNESCO World Heritage List (December 14, 1992).

According to Prime Minister Hun Sen the Facebook page, "This is a reminder to all Cambodian children to love and participate in preserving the heritage, especially to express deep gratitude to the Cambodian ancestors who sacrificed for the glorious cause of Cambodian civilization in the past, as well as the continued struggle of the country's leaders to overcome all obstacles to protect the precious heritage of the nation and the world."

The Royal Government of Cambodia is firmly committed to preserving this magnificent heritage.

Angkor Archaeological Park is a major tourist destination, attracting millions of international and local tourists to explore and learn about Cambodia's cultural heritage.

Following the inclusion of the Angkor Archaeological Park in the World Heritage List, an international conference was held in Tokyo from October 12–13, 1993, under the initiative of the Government of Japan, also with the support from France and UNESCO, to develop strategies and action plans for the protection, conservation, and development of the Angkor Archaeological Park site. The International Coordinating Committee (ICC Angkor) was formed in December 1993 to achieve this purpose.

Angkor Archaeological Park refers not only to Angkor Wat but to the entire Angkor area, including archeological sites, the environment, and communities, covering a total area of 401 square kilometers. There are nearly 100 other temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park; they are inscribed on the World Heritage List.
