Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 7 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen called on all compatriots to maintain the existing peace and eliminate extremist politics, speaking during the 44th anniversary of January 7 Victory Day, held on Saturday at Diamond Island.
“The past 44 years have been the 44 years of unity, the 44 years of heroic struggle and the 44 years of victory for the Cambodian people. Our struggle has transformed the homeland from the land of the dead to the land of beautiful progress, the land of great pride, which has strengthened our faith and strengthened our resolve to achieve new achievements in socio-economic development and glorious future construction for our descendants for generations to come, without the recurrence of wars, divisions, and genocides like in the past,” the premier underlined.
Samdech continued, “Of course, there are still many obstacles and difficulties ahead, but nothing can stop us as long as we are united in our efforts to move forward with all our physical strength and spiritual energy, on the right path, as we have already gone through. We should remember that the internal factors of our nation are the determining factors of victory, while the external factors are only adding influence. In this sense, a nation that is united in its determination to defend its independence and freedom cannot be defeated by any external force.”
“Therefore, we must work together to preserve all the noble achievements of the society to be stable and strong in all circumstances. In this spirit, we are all determined to safeguard the peace and national unity that we have achieved with the utmost difficulty, to remain in existence and not to be destroyed by any person or power,” the premier added.
On that occasion, premier Hun Sen emphasized to our compatriots that we must get rid of the extremist politics - carried out by traitors and factions who are fleeing abroad - from our society, and we must not let it continue to pollute society, destroy progress and cause division that may lead to disaster again for our nation. Any person or political party that serves the extremist politics of the traitor convicts must change their actions in time, otherwise they will face legal action.”
