Phnom Penh (FN), Jun. 28 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen, in his capacity as the president of Cambodian’s People Party (CPP) said that despite facing tens of thousands of obstacles and relentless attempts to overthrow by enemy forces, the CPP remains steadfast with overwhelming popular support and assistance from near and far friends, preventing the return of genocidal regimes.
The premier spoke in the 71st anniversary of the founding of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) on Tuesday (Jun 28).
“Over the past 71 years, Cambodia has gone through many historic stages of both pride and flexibility, difficulty and extreme danger. No matter in what the circumstances, the CPP remains committed to its purpose and ideals to build and defend an independent, peaceful, free, democratic, neutral and progressive Cambodia,” the premier underlined.
The premier continued, when the nation was plunged into disaster by the genocidal regime of Pol Pot, only pure CPP members loyal to the party's goals and ideals stood up to fight and mobilize all patriotic forces to form the National United Front for Salvation of Kampuchea to fight and overthrow this vicious regime until it achieved the historic victory on 7 January 1979, which saved the nation in a timely manner to bring the freedoms completely lost under the regime of Pol Pot back to the people, ending the darkest era and opening up a new era of Cambodia with light and hope.
Samdech added, in the light of peace, the Cambodian people have achieved great and proud changes, especially in the economic and social fields. Realizing high and sustainable economic growth over the past two decades has moved Cambodia from a low-income country to a low-middle-income country, and is striving to achieve its vision of a high-middle-income country in 2030.
Samdech continued, the poverty of the people has been gradually reduced, the living standards of the people have been gradually improved, along with security, order, and social security. Democracy has become stronger in Cambodian society. At the same time, national honor has been restored and enhanced on the international stage. Cambodia has been participating equally and on equal footing in international affairs, both regionally and globally.
“In short, all the achievements that the party has achieved for the nation in the past 43 years depends on the party's correct politics, the full support of the people, a strong structure, and human resources with virtue and ability, and firm internal solidarity, and proper working regime. However, in moving forward, we must not forget the tragedy, the division and separation, and the great loss that our nation has experienced in the past.”
“On this basis, we must unite in a single national unity to maintain the hard-won great achievements that we have realized. We must not lose our attention and trample on the dark history, whether intentionally or unintentionally,” the premier continued.
“In this sense, the Party committees and party officials at all levels must increase their efforts to fulfill their duties well, especially to implement the principles and approaches of the party's reforms so that the party remains strong both politically, and mentally and organizationally, to always get the love and support of the people,” Samdech added.
