In Visit, US Secretary of State Gave a Nod to Cambodian Antiquities

During this week’s visit of US Secretary of State John Kerry, officials mainly discussed economic and security issues, but Kerry also took time to tour the National Museum and to discuss the potential return of Cambodian antiquities. The museum, founded in 1920, has on display around 1,600 artifacts, from a stored collection of some 17,000. But many of the country’s antiquities are scattered abroad, stolen and sold by looters during decades of conflict. VOA Khmer's Phorn Bopha and Pin Sisovann, Phnom Penh.
