Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 14 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet stated that a successful reform process must be based on four key factors, speaking on Wednesday (Feb. 14) during the 2023 annual meeting of the Public Financial Management Reform Program-Stage 4 at Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel.

The premier underscored, "Successful reform must be based on four key factors. Firstly, there must be a clear vision; secondly, there must be unwavering commitment; thirdly, there must be genuine participation; and fourthly, there must be sacrifice."

Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet underlined the need to continue fostering the "spirit of reform". Over the past 20 years, Cambodia has made significant progress in reforming public financial management.

On the occasion, Samdech Thipadei added that the achievements of the reforms were not easy to come by. Indeed, in the past, present, and future, no reform work has been easy, and no achievement of the reform work can be achieved without effort.

On this basis, Samdech Thipadei reiterated that the seventh-mandate Royal Government will continue to uphold the "spirit of reform" and adhere to the five approaches of Samdech Techo for proactive, vigilant, and resolute reforms of self-reflection, showering, scrubbing, treatment and surgery.
