If we look at our land history from the beginning, we can say that (this achievement) is historic. Previously, we had never come down to survey (land) systematically throughout the province and register land like this. Before the war, we had some ownerships.\u00a0<em>The systematic surveying throughout the country [\u2026] aimed at reaching a proper management (and this is done) for the first time<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026]\u00a0<em>under the Pol Pot era, every land titles registered was completely erased. When people returned (from the evacuation by the regime back to the city, there were no) ownerships<\/em>. I have come to declare mines-and-UXOs free provinces in about 15 provinces across the country, by which we are reducing the risk of death and turning war sites into places where production and economic activity can take place [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Development and progress are to distribute benefits to the maximum number of people<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That Kampong Cham has been declared the first province to complete this systematic land survey, leading to the provision and guarantee of long-term ownership of the people, is a historical achievement, a result of peace [\u2026] the survey, preparation of land registration and the distribution of ownership titles to citizens in Kampong Cham province will be carried out nationwide in the near future, a new era of promoting national development and providing benefits to the people.\u00a0<em>Development and progress are not just accumulating benefits only, but distributing the benefits throughout the country to the maximum number of people<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026] I thank our people of Stung Trang, Khuthach, and Kampong Cham provinces, for the trust and confidence in the leadership of the Cambodian People\u2019s Party, especially the leadership of Samdech Techo [\u2026] in gratitude to the people everywhere, the new legislative term Royal Government is determined to continue to strive to serve and provide more benefits to the people everywhere [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) The 1979 economy was organized as a collective system, with no private ownership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From 1979, the Pol Pots abolished all land ownership. People had to evacuate the city. Upon their return (thanks to the liberation of January 7), in some places, no one returned because the owners were killed by the Pol Pots [\u2026] ownership changed. In the first phase, we did not have private ownership.\u00a0<em>From 1979, the socio-economic situation was difficult, as people lost their entire or part of family members [\u2026] we had organized the solidarity production group [\u2026] we also had to prevent the return of the Khmer Rouge at the same time [\u2026] the economy at that time was organized as a collective system, with no private ownership<\/em>. However, the subsistence system was implemented, like in Takeo province [\u2026] it was until 1989, at the initiative of Samdech Techo, that we carried out economic reforms from a planned economy to a market economy. At that time, we started providing private ownership of land to the people [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) transforming Cambodia as a land that make future generation citizens even better<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have been doing this for almost 40 years [\u2026] in 1989, we did not have territorial unity yet.

In the past 16 months, the government has sent about 5,000 officials (to do this land survey and registration) [\u2026] we have increased the budget for the job too. In some places, owners of land parcels are working on weekday, so the surveying staffs have to go at night, on Saturdays and\/or Sundays [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) Land provision to landless people and families of veterans in 1991\/92; 1998; 2012; 2003 and providing land for forest protection will be in early 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people have land but the situation has changed that they have lost them.\u00a0<em>In 1991\/1992, people who used to live in camps on the Thai-Cambodian border, when the country reunified, they had to return.

We do not throw people away [\u2026] I would ask the people to come together, and do not follow the mastermind behind illegal land grabbing [\u2026] otherwise, we will not be able to end the land conflict.

People\u00a0<em>with need of land, please come through the official mechanism<\/em>, the Land Management Department, through the provinces, to the Ministry of Land, so that they can help resolve it [\u2026] the middlemen who drag the people in this illegal mess, take the people\u2019s money and motivate the people to fight with the authorities, may have to withdraw, and do not do this again, if they love and pity the people [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) To complete measurement, registration and issuance of land parcels in all 25 provinces\/capitals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please join us in eliminating land disputes that arise from land ownership uncertainty.

I would like to clarify to the people that the government is not inhumane or does not consider the interests of the people, but on the contrary, we must provide land to the people in a win-win method [\u2026] please join us in implementing this, process the request for land with the Royal Government and the sub-national levels so that we can have peace in land management for hundreds of years to come. Do not be fooled by the propaganda of those who collect land for other purposes [\u2026]\u00a0<em>we will continue to make land accession possible for the people across the country.

They would pick out some land disputes and accuse the government of not thinking about the people, but harming the people, chasing and robbing the people\u2019s land. Let ask, that the people came to receive tens of thousands of land certificates, are they being robbed or harmed? Or people are happy with the provision of land certificates? If the state is to rob the land from them, what good does it do to distribute the land parcels to them? [\u2026] they make noise about CLV-DTA on the eastern border. Now they go quiet. They throw it away and chase (another argument) on the western border [\u2026]\u00a0<em>the government has no time to react on Facebook.

Agriculture is solving agricultural problems, ensuring good prices for agricultural products, and trade is opening markets to send goods abroad. Public transportation is working hard to build roads and ports, and health is working hard to strengthen health centers, making good medicines, and strengthening the code of ethics of doctors [\u2026] it is not that we do not listen what is disseminated through the information system, but we do things according to a real research, look into people\u2019s real complaints and help resolve immediately [\u2026] this is real business \u2013 fulfilling the duty to serve the people [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(12) CPP is not perfect but it liberated people from Pol Pot, ended the war, fought COVID-19, solved food and road shortages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The people recognize that\u00a0<em>the Cambodian People\u2019s Party is not perfect, but it is a mature party that the people can rely on at all times, especially in difficult times.

The Cambodian People\u2019s Party strives to implement real policies to serve the people [\u2026] we still have many shortcomings, but we are determined to improve them, and serve the people more.

That\u2019s all [\u2026] in the past, if the opposition disagreed on something, they blamed those in power to be led by the Vietnamese.
