Earlier, Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen affirmed that the opening and closing ceremonies of the coming 12th ASEAN Para Games will be comparable to those of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) that the country held earlier in May.
He called on the entire people of the host country to support the regional sport event for athletes with disabilities.
The PM said as there were only eight days left, all workers should support the Games for disabled athletes, which is not different from that for the able-bodied.

According to the National Paralympic Committee of Cambodia (NPCC), seven venues for 14 sport competitions at the Games include Morodok Techo National Stadium, Olympic National Stadium and Union of Youth Federation of Cambodia (UYFC), National Sports Training Centre, Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) and Naga World II.
