These young monks, wandering around the ancient ruins of Angkor are the perfect analogy of the relationship Cambodia has with its past.

 

In Angkor - a geographical region, an archaeological site and a cultural concept - lies much of Cambodia's future. The Angkorian heritage offers incomparable potential for economic prosperity, which can in turn provide a favorable climate and the means necessary for true protection of the Khmer heritage for the generations to come.
