Remarks by H.E. Ong Keng Yong, Secretary-General of ASEAN
This is a first project undertaken by the ASEAN Bankers
Association, Association of Banks in Cambodia and the ASEAN
Secretariat. Two key challenges facing ASEAN today are globalization
and technology.
A stone's throw away from the Tonle Sap is the royal Palace
built on the site of the Banteay Kev, a citadel built in
1813.
The Palace grounds contain several buildings: the Throne
Room or Prasat Tevea Vinichhay which is used for the coronation
of kings, official receptions and traditional ceremonies;
the Chan Chhaya Pavilion which is a venue for dance performances;
the king's official residence called the Khemarin; the Napoleon
Pavilion and the spectacular Silver Pagoda.
It owes its name to the 5,000 silver tiles weighing 1kg
each which cover the entire floor. The emerald Buddha sits
on a pedestal high atop the dias. In front of the dias stands
a life-size Buddha made of solid gold and weighs 75kg. It
is decked with precious gems including diamonds, the largest
of which is 25 carats. Also on display are the coronation
apparel and numerous miniature Buddha in gold and silver.
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen urged all the Southeast
Asian countries to sign the Ottawa Treaty, the international
agreement that bans anti-personnel landmines. The members
of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) should
adopt a unified position against landmines, Samdech Hun
Sen said at the opening ceremony of an international mine
action conference held recently in Phnom- Penh, Cambodia.
