South Korea will for the first time help Cambodia renovate the Preah Pithou group of ruined temples in the complex of the Angkor Archeological Park, both sides said Friday.
The agreement on the preservation and renovation of the ruined temples was signed here between Baek Sook Hee, country director of the Korean International Cooperation Agency to Cambodia, and Bun Narith, director general of the Apsara National Authority, which is in charge of the protection and management of the Angkor Archaeological Park.
“The Republic of Korea is so proud that today we have stepped into preserving and renovating the world heritage site for the first time,” Baek said after the signing ceremony. “We have confidence that our experts will be able to restore the Preah Pithou group of temples to its original form.”
