May 02, 2007

The New Zealand government will donate one million U.S. dollars each year in the next five years to help about 190,000 people living around Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple, local media reported Tuesday.

The program of New Zealand government will help the people plant vegetables, feed animals, plant trees around Angkor Wat temple, and teach them how to protect temples and make a living from tourism sector, the Raksmey Kampuchea Daily quoted Ouk Sameth, Deputy Director General of APSARA authority, as saying.

Sok An, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Council of ministers supported this program and he considered that it will help reduce poverty in Cambodia, the paper said.

Sok An also said that this program will make the relationship between New Zealanders and Cambodians better, it added.
