The celebration of Angkor Sankrata is an opportunity to showcase the tangible and intangible heritages, giving the public the opportunity to learn more about the Cambodian culture and traditional arts and sports, especially witness the solidarity among the youths.
Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen made the remarks at the opening ceremony of Angkor Sankranta 2023, along with the celebration of the 10th anniversary of this annual event, in Siem Reap provincial city this morning under the theme “Dreams and Hopes.”
“The reorganisation of Angkor Sankranta has created an opportunity for humans to reunite with tangible and intangible heritages,” he said.
Angkor Sankranta 2023, held from April 14 to 16, provides an opportunity for all Cambodians as well as international friends to come together and enjoy an unforgettable experience during the Khmer Traditional New Year.
