H.E Sok An leaves for attending the 33rd meeting of World Heritage Committee




Deputy Prime Minister and Minister in charge of Council Ministers’ office Sok An tells reporters at Phnom Penh international airport on June 20 before leaving for attending the 33rd meeting of World Heritage Committee to be held in Spain on June 23 that what is odd this year is that Thai leaders who will participate in the meeting used to rebuke UNESCO for listing Preah Vihea Temple ruins as a World Heritage Site.
The gesture made by Thailand is not fair because UNESCO is a high body of the World Heritage, he said, adding that the listing of Preah Vihea Temple ruins as a World Heritage Site was approved by many countries.
