Set within Botum Park near the riverfront, this concrete monument commemorates the alliance between Cambodia and Vietnam, depicting soldiers of both nations standing beside a woman and child. Erected in the era following the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime, it reflects a particular chapter in the country's political history and the circumstances of that period. The angular modernist sculpture rises on a stepped plinth surrounded by lawns, offering context on the relationships that shaped modern Cambodia.
