LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE(15th – 19th July 2024)
The Cambodian government has officially designated March 19 as the National Day of Social Affairs, aiming to enhance the country's value and public awareness of social affairs. This decision, made by Prime Minister Hun Manet, was outlined in a sub-decree signed on July 10 and announced to the media.
Cambodia is pushing ahead with plans to link the nation’s capital, Phnom Penh, to its coast with a canal running 180 kilometers, or 110 miles. According to Cambodian leaders, 51% or more of the canal’s cost will be covered by Cambodian companies and the remainder by a Chinese build-operate-transfer (BOT) firm. Groundbreaking has been scheduled for Aug. 5.
