PRIME Minister Hun Sen has reassured Unesco and the International Coordinating Committee for Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor ( ICC-Angkor) that the heritage of Angkor remains unaffected by development, saying Cambodia will follow the conditions under which the temple was listed in the Unesco World Heritage List.

Hun Sen reassured the organisations’ members after some of them expressed concern at a recent request by a company to dig a pond at a site close to Angkor Wat.
