This year, I have come to Pursat three times. The previous two times were to inaugurate achievements and a school in Veal Veng

Today, I am truly delighted to join as the chairperson to open this meaningful and historic “Exhibition Ceremony for the 100th Anniversary of the National Archives of Cambodia”
