Former Khmer Rouge guerrilla Hun Sen, who has ruled for nearly four decades, said he will continue serving in other positions until at least 2033
Cambodia’s king on Monday approved the nomination of the Western-educated son of Prime Minister Hun Sen to become the next premier, confirming a much-anticipated transfer of power by one of the world’s longest-serving leaders.
The legislature is expected to meet on Aug. 22 to vote to approve Hun Manet, who has given no clues on his vision for Cambodia and its 16 million people. The transition will be closely watched for whether Hun Manet maintains his father’s authoritarian status quo, or pursues a more liberal democracy with closer ties to the West after years under the influence of biggest investor China.
