At the 28th Technical Session of ICC-Angkor, Ad Hoc's experts of UNESCO have made several presentations about devastating heritage through civil war. The presentations were made to commemorate all relevant institutions to pay attention to heritage conservation in Angkor.
While illegal construction has widespread recently, the World Heritage Site of Angkor may face problems if it is not protected. Responding to this, APSARA Authority tried to coordinate with people, who had illegally built the constructions by asking them to dismantle their own constructions. In the case that some people have not voluntarily dismantled their illegal buildings, APSARA is necessary to use administrative structures to dismantle those illegal constructions.
On the morning of June 22, 2017, at the 28th Technical Session of ICC-Angkor, two memorandum of understanding are signed between APSARA Authority and Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage, China and between APSARA Authority and Indigo Gandhi National Center for the Arts, India. The signing ceremony is presided over by H. E. Ms. Phoeurng Sackona, Minister of Culture and Fine Arts and as President of APSARA, and signed by H.E Dr. Sum Map, Director General of APSARA, Mr. Xu Yan, Deputy Director of Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage and Mrs. Vinita SRISVASTAVA, Secretary General of IGNCA.
During the 28th Technical Session of ICC-Angkor, delegations from the national institutions, embassies, and other institutions, which are active in restoration and conservation in the region of Angkor, pay respect to Samdech Vibol Panna Sok Ann, Former Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for the Office of the Council of Ministers and President of APSARA Authority for his 100-Day Ceremony at APSARA Authority Center.
ICC-Angkor stands for International Coordination Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor. In 1993, the ICC - Angkor was established to protect, preserve and develop this vast cultural heritage site.
