Erected in 1979, the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument sits in Botum Park in Phnom Penh’s bustling city center. Its existence speaks to a long and complicated relationship between the two countries: Technically, this serene, gold-topped statue was built during Vietnamese occupation—the country’s Communist army overthrew the Khmer Rouge (the party responsible for the Cambodian genocide) and would hold power until 1989.
