Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet emphasized the profound impact of peace on national transformation, declaring Cambodia as a tangible testament to the influence of peace. Speaking on November 24 during the opening of the 11th Plenary Session of the International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace (IPTP) at Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel, the premier underlined Cambodia’s commitment to sharing its hopeful experience with other nations striving for peace and reconciliation.
“Peace is the key to everything—without peace, there can be no development, progress, or future. Without peace, there are no human rights or sustainable development,” Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet stated, emphasizing the nation’s journey toward lasting stability.
He credited Cambodia’s remarkable transformation to the “win-win policy” implemented under the visionary leadership of Samdech Techo Hun Sen. This policy ended decades of civil war and laid the foundation for national reconciliation and political stability through pragmatic practices rooted in dialogue, reconciliation, and upliftment.
“Cambodia is a testament to the impact of peace that has brought about change, and we are eager to continue sharing this hopeful experience with other countries around the world in search of peace and reconciliation,” the Prime Minister remarked.
Samdech Thipadei also stressed that peace remains the cornerstone for ensuring resilience and sustainable development, providing opportunities to invest in people, institutions, and the future.
As part of this vision, the Royal Government has introduced the “Pentagon Strategy-Phase I,” focusing on five critical areas: people, roads, water, electricity, and technology. This comprehensive framework aims to foster job creation, equity, efficiency, and community growth while protecting the hard-earned peace.
The Prime Minister’s address reflects Cambodia’s dedication to not only sustaining its achievements but also inspiring other nations to embrace the transformative power of peace for development and reconciliation.
