“Without His Majesty the late King-Father, Cambodia would become a French overseas territory,” he stressed.
For the Paris Peace Agreement, if there was no Preah Borom Ratanak Kaudh and me, there would be no such agreement, he added.
“Even though he is not with us anymore, he is always in the Cambodian people’s memory,” said the premier.
Cambodian people across the country will commemorate this Sunday the fifth-year anniversary of His Majesty the King-Father Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk’s passing away.
