Yesterday at the Wellington Cambodian Buddhist Temple in Island Bay, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies took part in a very special celebration of the Cambodian New Year. Their Excellencies enjoyed the wonderful array of food prepared by members of the community, and received a blessing from the Senior Venerable Suthep Surapong MNZM, who has played a significant role in supporting New Zealand's Cambodian community since arriving in Aotearoa nearly 40 years ago.
You can find more images from the event in the image gallery for the Cambodian New Year Festival and Dame Cindy's speech via Her Excellency's speech for the Cambodian New Year Festival. Wishing all who celebrate a very happy, safe and prosperous New Year.
