Techo International Airport and the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) held a traditional blessing ceremony for the guardian spirit shrine on the grounds of the airport’s VVIP Terminal on Wednesday morning, 4 November 2026.

The ceremony comes as the terminal prepares to welcome world leaders from nearly 90 countries, including the President of France, for the 20th Francophonie Summit, which Cambodia will host from 14 to 16 November 2026.

The VVIP Terminal was developed to provide a warm and dignified welcome to senior leaders and distinguished guests, with a focus on safety, security, operational efficiency and convenience.

Combining Khmer architecture and artistry with modern technology designed to meet civil aviation standards, the terminal reflects Cambodia’s cultural identity within a contemporary setting. Landscaped grounds and natural surroundings complement the building, while its interiors feature sculptures and artworks reflecting the country’s history and artistic heritage. Together, these elements create a distinctive setting for welcoming distinguished guests with grace and Cambodian hospitality.
