PHNOM PENH, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) — The International Coordinating Committee for the Safeguarding and Development of the Historic Site of Angkor (ICC) will convene its 19th plenary session on Dec. 5-6 in Siem Reap province, according to a press release from the UNESCO-Cambodia on Monday.
The ICC has convened regularly twice a year to consistently follow up with all operations being carried out on the site, the press release said.

On the first day of the meeting, there will be a tour for the ICC-Angkor participants to see the hydraulic structures and the urban heritage of Siem Reap, it said.
The tour will highlight the work done in the past years to prevent Angkor and Siem Reap from flooding and efforts to preserve Siem Reap’s urban heritage.

KI media deleted commemts that related to 1997 granade attack.
Shame!
It is meaning no justice for any supporters that died in serving Sam Rainsy political party at all.
Sam Rainsy will never find justice for his supporters at America and international court at all but in fact he use these as his passport for negotiate with Hun Sen after 15 years.
The supporters Sam Rainsy party today must accept that if you die n serving Sam Rainsy party, Sam Rainsy will not care to find justice for you at America and international courts and you die for nothing as 1997 grenade attack victims.
Current affair,
Hey Dumb Yuon/Vietnamese Dog eater called Pi Anh and now called Current affair (such a good name) @12:24 PM:
Can you stop polluting your shitty comments here on Ki-Media?
Stop blaming Mr. Sam Rainsy, a victim of your Vietnamese dog eating CPP dogs, thieves and killers, Vietnamese/Yuon dog eating puppet Hun Sen and Hun Sen'sVietnamese dog eating bosses in Hanoi.
Your message or comment is a real joke and silliness for readers to read to gain nothing, but at least you tried to make readers look stupid. Is that your dumb Yuon/Vietnamese dog eating dirty plan?
Stop polluting, Vietnamese dog eater called Pi Anh and now called Current affair just like Khiev Kanarith, a dumb/stupid Vietnamese/Yuon dog eating head with a full of alcohol.
