Belgium (FN), Dec. 13 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said that the victory over COVID19 has enabled Cambodia, as the chair of ASEAN 2022, to host the ASEAN Summit and related meetings physically.

The premier spoke in a meeting with nearly 2,000 Cambodians residing in Europe on 12 December 2022.

"The effective management of COVID19 has opened the opportunity for us to host ASEAN this year physically after a two-year hiatus [...] In 2020, Vietnam virtually chaired the Summit, and so as Brunei in 2021,” the premier underlined.

In addition, Samdech affirmed that as the chair of the ASEAN Summit and related meetings in 2022, Cambodia has done a lot, especially the leaders of each country also came to participate in Cambodia physically too.

At the same time, Samdech mentioned that the selfie between US President Joe Biden and the Cambodian officials during the ASEAN Summit in Phnom Penh is an expression of confidence in safety, security, and the COVID19 control.
