Template:Culture of Cambodia The national symbols of Cambodia (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) includes the ancient monument of Angkor Wat, the national flag, the national anthem, and the national emblem and royal seal. In 2005, the Kingdom of Cambodia designated seven flora and fauna as national symbols in an effort to promote nationalism and protection and conservation of these plants and animals.[1]

The sugar palm, Borassus flabellifer, and Angkor Wat are two symbols of Cambodia; the latter is also portrayed on the flag of Cambodia.
