Cambodia’s king has congratulated the country’s new lawmakers and urged them to promote economic growth and equality
Cambodia’s king congratulated the country’s new lawmakers on Monday, urging them in his traditional speech to the National Assembly on its first day following elections to promote economic growth and equality.
The new government is undergoing a generational change, however, as Hun Sen hands off the premiership to his eldest son, Hun Manet, and many key Cabinet ministers are being replaced — most also by the children or relatives of incumbents.In Hun Sen’s nearly four decades in power, Cambodia saw a dramatic increase in its standard of living, though the gap between the wealthy and poor has increased.
“National Assembly members, as representatives of all Cambodians, must make every effort to ensure people live equally regardless of religious belief or education, and obtain employment equal to their abilities and education,” he said. Despite handing the prime minister’s job to his son, 71-year-old Hun Sen is expected to retain a large amount of control as president of the Cambodian People’s Party and as the Senate president.
