A temple in Cambodia, two historic Malaysian trading towns and an early agricultural site from Papua New Guinea have been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Honoured were the 11th century Preah Vihear temple site, perched on a mountaintop on the Thai-Cambodia border; the cities of the Straits of Malacca, Melaka and George Town in Malaysia, and the Kuk Early Agricultural Site in Papua New Guinea, marking the country's first entry on the list.
The UNESCO committee has been meeting in this oldest of Canadian cities of Quebec since Wednesday to consider adding to its coveted list of protected architectural and natural wonders.
A total of 45 new sites were vying for inclusion on the list this year at the meeting which ends on Thursday.
