National Day of Preah Vihear used to be an annual event during the Sangkum Reastniyum. Good to hear that RGC would want to celebrate this amgnificient day again
Government should regard the 1962 Preah Vihear victory as National Day in an attempt to remind all next Cambodian generation to keep in mind that Preah Vihear is really belonging to Cambodia.
