On the CPP’s election platform, he said it has set major targets as strategies to build Cambodia into a strong state that develops based on the law and serves the people.

Each Cambodian resident has the right and obligation to participate in national construction and defence , he stressed.

The CPP also aims to continue with development and consolidate the fruitful ties between Cambodia and other countries, as well as international organisations . At the same time, the party will work to step up Cambodia’s activities for peace, security and prosperity in the region and the world.

The diplomat affirmed that the upcoming election is an important political and historical event for Cambodian people as they will elect a party to lead the country.
