In June 2017, Cambodia's pro-democracy opposition party made unprecedented gains in the local commune elections, casting serious doubt on Prime Minister Hun Sen's ability to extend his 33-year rule in the following year's national election.
This month Cambodia commemorated its 65th Independence Day, the anniversary of the declaration by the late King Norodom Sihanouk on November 9, 1953. Marking this national celebration, the country put on its usual pompous fanfare, and earlier Hun Sen “rewarded” Vietnam with an 11th monument built to honor Cambodia-Vietnam “friendship.”
Asean may have to choose between China and the US one day in dealing with the fast-changing geopolitical landscape, according to Hun Many, president of Commission 7 for Cambodia's National Assembly.https://bit.ly/2BxzpnX; https://bit.ly/2QjilKJ;
