Description
Replica of Koh Ker Tower, Win-Win Monument
This photograph shows a miniature reproduction of a red-brick tower at Koh Ker (former capital of the Angkorian Empire). A garden located on the northern side of the Win-Win Monument displays several miniature reproductions of iconic Khmer monuments.
The Win-Win Monument complex – photographed here in January 2020 – was inaugurated in December 2018 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the end of the post-Democratic Kampuchea civil war, with the final defection of the remaining Khmer Rouge factions, thanks to the DIFID policy (“Divide, Isolate, Finish, Integrate, Develop”) also known as the “Win Win” policy of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
