Congratulations to the Khmer "krama" for being inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. UNESCO congratulates Cambodia for the inscription of the Krama onto the Representative List of the #Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
This unique expression of Cambodian culture, a fabric which holds extraordinary socio-cultural value, and encompasses all aspects of the daily lives of Cambodian people, is the product of traditional knowledge and skills that have been transmitted through the generations and need to be preserved and developed as drivers of social cohesion and community engagement.
The nomination of the Krama constitutes a great opportunity to promote the rich intangible heritage of Cambodia at a global level and support the work of Cambodia’s small and medium enterprises which harness the potential of traditional handicrafts as drivers for economic growth, women’s empowerment, and sustainable development. On behalf of the Cambodian People’s Party and the Senate of Cambodia, I would like to express my congratulations on the inscription of the Khmer krama on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO in Asunción, Republic of Paraguay, on Wednesday, 4th of the month of Migasir, year of the Chasak of the Year 2568, corresponding to 4th December 2024, by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO, which was unanimously adopted through decision 19.COM 7.b.27.
This inscription is another pride of Cambodia, which has achieved achievements for the nation and the entire Cambodian people. This is a value for Cambodia and the international community in preserving, protecting and promoting the value of “krama” as a heritage for future generations of humanity.
On this auspicious occasion, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Her Majesty Queen Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, the Mother of the Khmer Nation, and His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni, the King of the Kingdom of Cambodia, for their constant support for the Royal Government’s efforts in the field of national cultural heritage, especially intangible cultural heritage that is vulnerable to loss. On this occasion, I would like to express my appreciation for the dedication, support, and close collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, relevant institutions, and national and international experts in the duty of joint cooperation in preserving, protecting, and promoting the value of “Krama” as a legacy for future generations.
