At the Francophonie Village in the Cambodian capital, Morocco’s pavilion showcases its heritage and art of living for visitors and for participants in the 20th Francophonie Summit. The space is meant to be a place of intercultural exchange, according to MAP.

Beyond presenting heritage, the participation also serves to promote the destination to an international audience, detailing the variety of its landscapes, historic cities and traditions, according to MAP.

Morocco’s presence takes on particular significance as Morocco and Cambodia celebrate the 30th anniversary of their diplomatic ties. On Friday, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet opened the Village, in the presence of Louise Mushikiwabo, Secretary-General of the International Organisation of la Francophonie.

In this green setting at the heart of the capital, the pavilions form a mosaic of traditions and sensibilities, and encounters between visitors give the Francophonie an everyday, accessible dimension.
