Kampot (FN), Jun. 6 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet issued a stern warning to former opposition leader Sam Rainsy, urging him to cease his relentless opposition and consider the national interest.

The premier spoke on Thursday morning (Jun. 6) during an inauguration for the official use of Kampot multi-purpose port in Kampot province.

"Stop believing the incitement from certain groups or politicians who mislead citizens with distorted images and misinformation, causing them to lose faith in this project and protest against it. Do not fall for such incitement," the premier underscored.

Samdech Thipadei continued, "As an economist living abroad, Sam Rainsy should not oppose projects that serve the national interest. Please consider the national interest and allow Cambodians to grow, gain confidence, and unite for our socioeconomic development.”

On the occasion, Samdech Thipadei also thanked all the political parties in the country for their strong support for the Funan Techo canal project.

The Funan Techo Canal Project aims to connect waterways between rivers to the sea of Cambodia, passing through Kandal, Takeo, Kampot, and Kep provinces. It is about 180 kilometres long. The project is expected to cost about USD 1.7 billion and has been studied in detail.
