‘It embodies Cambodia’s identity’

PRIME Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen inaugurated a large couple statue (pic) in the southwestern coastal province of Preah Sihanouk, the largest copper statue in the kingdom.

Erected at a roundabout in Prey Nop district, the copper statue, weighing 60 tons and towering 21m high, depicts Preah Thong and Neang Neak, the legendary co-founders of the ancient state of Funan.
