Cambodia on Tuesday marked the 68th anniversary of its independence from France in an hour-long ceremony held at the Independence Monument in the capital city Phnom Penh.
King Norodom Sihamoni, accompanied by Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen, laid a wreath and lit the ceremonial victory fire inside the Independence Monument to symbolize the country’s independence.
The event was also attended by foreign diplomats, armed forces, civil servants, citizens and students. All of them were seen wearing face masks and keeping physical distancing properly to guard against the COVID-19.
