Activities at the venue feature various distinctive aspects of the Khmer-Sisaket culture, which has defined the province since the dawn of its colorful history, such as traditional weaving, rice mortaring, and a demonstration of how to cook traditional dishes.
The AEC marks the commitment of ASEAN leaders to building and promoting a single market and production base, a highly competitive economic region tempered with equitable development, and a region fully integrated into the global economy.
