Tbong Khmum (FN), Jun. 20 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen claimed that without the historical event of 20 June 1977, there would be no 12 May and 2 December 1978, speaking at the 45th anniversary of the liberation journey on Monday (Jun 20) at Cambodia-Viet Nam border.

"Without 20 June 1977, there would be no 12 May and 2 December 1978, the days the National Salvation Armed Forces and Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation (KUFNS) were formed respectively,” the premier underlined.

Hun Sen, along with his four comrades, left Cambodia on 20 June 1977 to seek support from Viet Nam in order to liberate the country from the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. On 7 January 1979, Cambodia achieved the great victory, a month after the Kampuchea United Front for National Salvation was formed on 2 December 1978.
