Mean Saman with foreign visitor at Pochentong Airport
This photographs shows of Mean Saman, president of the National Association of Women for the Salvation of Kampuchea, welcoming foreign female visitor (possibly the president of the International Women’s Democratic Federation) at Pochentong airport. The latter has a flower garland around her neck and holds a conical hat (possibly an indication she has been transiting through Vietnam). In the background, one sees the plane’s empennage and a few other Cambodian women.
This photograph is part of the collection held by the Agence Khmère de Presse (AKP) and Cambodia’s Ministry of Information. This collection, which documents the early years of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea as photographed by the Vietnamese and a small team of Cambodian photographers, has not yet been classified or indexed.
