OCIC and Canadia Bank supported the safe transportation of 74 Khmer artefacts returned to Cambodia from the family of British art dealer Douglas Latchford.

The objects were welcomed at the National Museum of Cambodia, where their display gives the public an opportunity to engage with the country's artistic and cultural heritage.

The welcoming ceremony included Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Service Hun Many and Minister of Culture and Fine Arts Phoeurng Sackona. OCIC Vice President Thierry Tea and Canadia Bank's Yem Mach were also identified among those present.

The companies' contribution focused on the artefacts' safe transportation to Cambodia.
