Cambodian government will soon apply its candidacy to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization for a seat in the World Heritage Committee.
Phay Siphan, spokesman of the Office of the Council of Ministers said Thursday that Cambodia will formally apply to the UNESCO.
He said the application will be taken shortly because the elections are scheduled to take place on October 23-28 in Paris , and adding that if Cambodia is elected, Cambodia will serve only four years from the original terms of six years.
He said the move to take less years is to allow other state parties to have opportunity to be part of the committee.
Following Cambodia ’s application for the seat at the World Heritage Committee, Teruo Jinnai, UNESCO’s office chief in Cambodia said he welcomed Cambodia ’s move seeking to be on board.
Until now, UNESCO has registered Cambodia ’s two historical sites as the World Heritage, namely Angkor Wat Temple and Preah Vihear Temple in 1992 and 2008 respectively.
Also, in 2003 UNESCO listed Cambodian Classical Dance as another World Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Phay Siphan said Cambodia has thousands of heritage sites, preservation projects as well as cultural sites.
