Phnom Penh (FN), Mar. 21 – Cambodian Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen stated that while some military leaders excel in offense and others in defence, he needs commanders skilled in both.

Samdech Techo presided over a ceremony conferring the five-star general rank on former Defence Minister Tea Banh and former Minister of Inspection Men Sam An on Friday (Mar. 21).

Samdech Techo Hun Sen stated, "A good military leader must be skilled in both attack and defence. Some excel in defence but lack offensive capability. I need leaders who can do both. Attack is as valuable as defence, and defence is as valuable as attack — you must walk on both feet.”

On that occasion, Samdech Techo also recalled the late king father’s words, criticizing those who claimed he would collapse if Viet Nam withdrew. Yet, when Viet Nam did pull out, Samdech Hun Sen not only held firm but also expanded control over nearly the entire country.
