On 6 June , Embassy marked the Swedish National Day with almost 400 guests present. The main theme of the National Day this year was “Celebrating fatherhood for a more gender-balanced society” through a Swedish photo exhibition on fatherhood, which has been shown also elsewhere in the world. As the exhibition now comes to Cambodia, it contains images of both Swedish and Cambodian dads with their children and brings attention to issues of gender roles and gender equality.

Opening remarks were given by H.E. Ms Maria Sargren, Ambassador of Sweden to Cambodia, and H.E. Mr Ouch Borith, Secretary of State of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development. Photo by HongMenea
