JQA assisted the Apsara Authority in protection of environment in conformity with the ISO-14001 standard, Dr. Lao Kim Leang said, adding "JQA has since 2004 continued granting the same certificate to the Apsara Authority for its environment management of the Angkor region.
H. E. Sok An congratulated the receipt of the ISO-14001 certificate, saying that it was just a starting point in the environment management of the Angkor region.
Further and necessary works had to be done with JQA assistance, especially those relating to education of the Apsara Authority in environment protection and in quality control.
