NA President: Peace, Indispensable Factor for National Development

Samdech Akka Moha Ponhea Chakrei Heng Samrin, President of the National Assembly (NA), has sent a congratulatory message on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Paris Peace Agreement (Oct. 23, 1991-Oct. 23, 2021).

In the message posted on his official Facebook page this morning, Samdech Heng Samrin said that Oct. 23, 1991 has brought about national unity, national reconciliation, peace and development to the Cambodian nation until the present day.

“Peace is an indispensable factor for the development of the nation,” the NA president underlined.

Taking this opportunity, Samdech Heng Samrin called on those who have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so to create herd immunity so that we can live with the virus in a new normal way, and fully reopen the country in the near future. At the same time, those who have already been inoculated were urged to continue to strictly implement the health measures.

For his part, Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen recalled key historical records towards the conclusion of the peace accord. But, he continued, despite the Paris Peace Agreement of Oct. 23, 1991, Cambodia continued to face civil war caused by the Democratic Kampuchea (Pol Pot) group.

Thanks to the Win-Win policy (launched in Pailin) that completely ended the civil war in 1998, the whole Cambodia has enjoyed full peace and happiness until now.
