Phnom Penh (FN), Dec. 10 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen proposed an annual National Coastal Forum to be held on 26 May, hosted on a rotating basis among the four coastal provinces.

The premier spoke at the 16th World Congress of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Club, held on Saturday (Dec 10) at Sokha Beach Resort, Preah Sihanouk Province.

“I propose an annual National Coastal Forum to be organized, on a rotating basis among the four coastal provinces, in order to meet, discuss and exchange ideas on the development of Cambodia’s coastal areas on 26 May of each year, the same day Cambodia became a club member,” the premier underlined.

“To reaffirm our commitment to coastal development, Cambodia is ready to serve as a Secretariat to operate the Club’s administration and general affairs. Ministry of Tourism and Preah Sihanouk Provincial Administration must set up permanent offices at the Ministry and in Preah Sihanouk Province for the operation of this Secretariat. Meanwhile, I also welcome the Club Board meeting to be held in 2023 or later, along with other events of the Club on Cambodia Bay,” the premier added.

Samdech continued, “With the election of the Executive Committee for the next term at the closing of the World Congress, Cambodia would like to show our support to the candidacy of His Excellency Bruno Bodard as the next President of the Club. We would also like to ask the Executive Committee and all club members to support Cambodia as a Board member of the Club for the term 2023-2025 under the leadership of His Excellency Louis Thébault, who will take office in the next term.”
