Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 9 – The new Phnom Penh International Airport is officially named "Techo Takhmau International Airport.”

Premier Hun Sen spoke at the construction inspection of the new airport in Kandal’s Kandal Steung on Thursday.

The premier underlined that the word “Techo” is referenced from Khmer history in which the king granted titles to former Khmer army commanders Techo Meas, Techo Yort who operated in the territory of Kandal province.

The word “Techo” also shows the strength of the kingdom’s monarchy. Prime minister Hun Sen reaffirmed that he will never betray the monarchy and the nation, and that is the key to sustain the premiership.
