Officials
Vow to Protect Cambodia’s Culture
Cambodia’s
cultural officials vowed to protect the country’s cultural heritage
while working to alleviate poverty at the Mini8stry of Culture’s annual
meeting last week.
More
than 300 officials discussed ways to increase cultural activities in
music, literature, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture and film.
As
always, the problem is finding the money to do it, the officials said.
They also discussed plans for National Cultural Day, to be celebrated with
performances at the Bassac Theater on April 3.
Khun
Samen, director of the National Museum, urged provincial officials to
establish museums in each province to help educate Cambodians nationwide
about their heritage.
“We
should preserve all items, [whether from] India, Thailand, Laos or Burma,
to learn about the lifestyle of Cambodians†| |
