Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 31 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said that 7 January commemorates the victory of Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) over the Khmer Rouge Regime, and that CPP can never forget 7 January and is willing to fight to protect it.

The premier spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony of a flyover on National Road 5 on Monday.

His statement came after some analysts criticized that the CPP's decision to suspend the celebration of the anniversary of the 7 January 2022 due to COVID19 is CPP’s intention to reduce Vietnamese influence.

“The victory of January 7, although with the aids of Vietnam, saved lives of the Cambodian people, and there is never a time that the CPP abandoned January 7,” the premier underlined.
