Cambodia–Vietnam Friendship Monument, Monument at Botum Park in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The concrete structure displays two soldiers standing together with a woman holding a baby, topped by a golden decorative element at its summit.
After invading Cambodia in 1978, Vietnamese forces constructed this monument in 1979 to mark the end of the Khmer Rouge government regime.
The monument demonstrates the socialist realist art style, featuring heroic figures of Vietnamese and Cambodian soldiers alongside civilian representations.
Located near the Royal Palace, the monument remains accessible throughout the year without any entrance fees and attracts numerous photographers.
The structure survived a 1998 protest where demonstrators damaged it with hammers and fire, requiring two months of restoration work.
