Phnom Penh (FN), Apr. 20 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen lauded Cambodian people for better management and disposal of waste during the Khmer New Year holidays, speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Phnom Penh Flood Protection and Drainage Improvement Phase IV on Wednesday (20 Apr).

The waste management is Cambodia’s concerned issue, especially during the national public holidays. However, although more than 5 million people traveled during the Khmer New Year 2022, wastes were properly disposed in those main tourist destinations.

According to the premier, better waste management was achieved due to people’s awareness of proper waste disposal, authority’s attention on waste management, and the cooperation of the waste collection companies.

The Ministry of Environment has cooperated with the relevant authorities at both the national and sub-national levels to launch various campaigns to raise awareness on the negative impacts of wastes and on waste management.
