As Cambodia is hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, the country’s cultural artists remain key players – like back-line troops whose regular activities encourage those on the frontline – in the fight against the coronavirus, said Prime Minister Hun Sen in a letter celebrating the 24th National Culture Day under the theme “Youth for National culture”.

The Apsara National Authority (ANA) said that last year more than 700 youths were trained in sustainability and conservation work, development, tradition, customs and new discoveries in the preservation of Angkor.
The ANA revealed the number on March 3 as Cambodia marked the 23rd National Cultural Day under the theme “Youth for National Culture”.
In its Facebook post, the ANA said Angkor, which was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992, is important for national identity so conservation and sustainable development training is considered priority work.
The government announced the organisation of the 23rd National Cultural Day to be held on March 3 under the same banner as last year, Youth for National Culture. Some major events relating to the day were cancelled, however, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
