Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 7 – Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), urged Western countries to reflect on their historical errors in Cambodia and avoid making a third mistake.

Samdech Techo spoke on Tuesday (Jan. 7) at the 46th Anniversary of January 7 Victory Day at Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Centre, Phnom Penh.

On the occasion, Samdech Techo Hun Sen highlighted two significant past mistakes: supporting the coup d'état on 18 March 1970, and allowing the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime to hold Cambodia's seat at the United Nations for 12 years after 1979, while imposing economic, political, and diplomatic sanctions on those who liberated Cambodia from the genocidal regime. He criticized these actions for ignoring the suffering and genuine aspirations of the Cambodian people.

“National sovereignty, the right to self-determination, and the true aspirations of the Cambodian people must be respected,” Samdech Techo underscored.
