via Khmer Times, 06 August 2021: Cambodia’s Minister of Culture and Fine Art makes a diplomatic request to the Thai government for information related to the controversial Khmer-style temple being built in Buriram province.
Minister of Culture and Fine Art Phoeurng Sackona has requested Thailand to provide blueprints and information related to Angkor Wat-like temple being built in Thailand’s Buriram province.
The request was made on Thursday during a meeting at the Ministry office attended by Sackona and Thai Ambassador to Cambodia Panyarak Poolthup.
Last month, photos of the construction of the alleged temple caused outrage among Cambodian people and the Ministry of Culture said that it had to investigate it first before taking any diplomatic action.
