PHNOM PENH: The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) celebrated its 71st birthday on Tuesday, pledging to safeguard peace and political stability for Cambodia’s sustainable socio-economic development.

On its 71st birthday on Tuesday, the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) promised to protect peace and political stability for Cambodia’s long-term socio-economic growth.

In a speech to thousands of party members at the CPP’s headquarters in Phnom Penh, CPP President and Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said that in the past 71 years, Cambodia has gone through many times of pride, struggle, and extreme danger.

“No matter in what the circumstances, the CPP remains committed to its purpose and ideals to build and defend an independent, peaceful, free, democratic, neutral, and progressive Cambodia,” he stated.

“The CPP and the Cambodian people as a whole must absolutely protect peace, political stability and national security, which are essential conditions to ensure the peaceful life of the people with freedom, honor, and dignity and sustainable socio-economic development,” he added.

 “The CPP and the Cambodian people as a whole must absolutely protect peace, political stability and national security, which are essential conditions to ensure the peaceful life of the people with freedom, honour and dignity, and sustainable socio-economic development,” he added.

Hun Sen stated that the party continues to advance on the path of liberal democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law within the context of Cambodian society, and fully satisfies the people’s sacred aspirations.

“At the same time, the party thwarts actions, from whatever sources they may be, that attempt to push Cambodia off this path or to suppress Cambodia’s sovereignty,” he stated.

Since 1979, the CPP has governed the nation in Southeast Asia.
