Phnom Penh (FN), Feb. 15 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said that the technological advancement cannot be stopped; therefore, we need to embrace and leverage its benefits, speaking on Thursday (Feb. 15) during an inauguration of the National University of Management II.

"It is an integral aspect of our lives; we cannot deny the digital era or impede our country's progression towards 4G or 5G internet. I recalled the introduction of 3G, with some expressing reservations about its implementation and reluctance to upload videos. Yet, we couldn't halt this evolution, as, at that time, concerns arose about citizens uploading videos potentially impacting our culture. Prohibiting digital is not a solution; instead, we must actively embrace and leverage its benefits," the premier underscored.

Samdech Thipadei added that leveraging technology is an advantage, and the Royal Government must serve as a crucial model. Without the government's commitment to digital transformation, citizens may struggle to grasp the full potential of digital tools and techniques.

According to the "Cambodia Digital Government Policy 2022-2035, a successful digital transformation is the main foundation for the Royal Government to achieve the ultimate goal of providing public services to meet the needs of the people at all times and places. The digital transformation starts with building a digital government that is a pillar for encouraging businesses and citizens to embrace digital technology with trust.
