The President of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic presented a pair of elephants as a royal gift to His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Cambodia, consisting of one female elephant named “Romduol” and one male elephant named “Champa.”

This royal gift was presented as a symbol of solidarity and friendship between the governments and peoples of the two countries. His Majesty the King graciously accepted the pair of elephants with great pleasure and graciously entrusted them to the Royal Government of Cambodia to organize the official handover ceremony and to continue caring for and raising them at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre, Protected Forest and Arboretum.
