Phnom Penh, July 2, 2024 – This Tuesday morning, Prime Minister of Cambodia Hun Manet welcomed the Executive Board of the Khmer Artists Association, led by Chumteav Mao Channary, at the Peace Palace for a courtesy call and work discussion.
The Khmer Artists Association was established in 2006 and has now been in existence for 18 years, spanning six terms.
