Selected Off-the-Cuff Speech at the Gathering of Civil Servants and Technicians Teams Involved in Building Infrastructures of the Province of Preah Sihanouk [Unofficial Translation]
Focus
[…] We have allocated investment fund of 340 to 350 million USD for the province of Preah Sihanouk. In comparison, if we were to invest this amount of money to build bridges over the Mekong, the Bassac or even the Tonle Sap rivers […] we could have built five bridges […] why do we spend it to build all 34 roads […]. The most importantly is we need to transform the city of Preah Sihanouk, the only sea hub of the province of Sihanouk, as a corridor of economic growth centre, linking pole 1 and pole 2 […]
[…] as roads condition improved, the province of Sihanouk would attract many local tourists […] I have advised the provincial governor Kuoch Chamroeun to decorate the roads with lights […] it will then be very attractive for tourists to come see the South-western part of the country. We have built now 34 roads and three avenues – Chumteav Mao, Sen Chey and Chhne Ream, […] each one has drainage system built and people’s homes can connect theirs to the main system […]
[…] I have the necessity to reiterate Cambodia’s stand to avoid repetition of suspicion regarding the military base in Ream. Weeks by, an Ambassador of a country sounded to me through Deputy Prime Minister and Senior Minister about us allowing the military seaport used by China exclusively […]. Reiterating its independence and sovereignty, Cambodia does not align itself with one against the other; or allow a foreign military presence in its territory; and does not station its military in foreign soils, unless under the flag of the United Nations […]
[…] as far as Covid-19 is also a topic that I am covering in this speech today […] as of now, Cambodia, we can say, could be considered administering good management against the pandemic putting the country back in détente compared to when it first happened, along with overall better situation in the region and the world. However, the combat against it is not yet over and Cambodia should not lose its vigilance […]
[…] Let me take this opportune moment to reaffirm […] (because there has been a) bad person declaring - “the small notes of 1 USD, 2 USD and 5 USD will be out of traffic” (in Cambodia) […] if s/he continues to spread such rumours, arrest her/him […] once s/he devastated the nation, s/he would not be spared. Let us continue spending those small notes of USD. After they reached the Bank, perhaps they will not let them out again. The Bank already clarifies there would be no loss for our people […] it would be great if we could encourage our people to spend in Khmer Riel […]

[...] Although the number of people infected in our country is small, we need to pay more attention and be ready to prevent it at all times, especially for the second wave of this devastating Covid-19 infection [...]

[...] Cambodia also (found) 122 people infected with Covid-19. They have already recovered. But the disease is not over yet. We must stay vigilant […] From our experience, the prevention of infectious diseases, and in this case Covid-19, does not base on science alone but on one’s ability to control the spread of the disease […]
[…] Timor-Leste should seek a location in Cambodia to set up warehouse, factories, drying storage and also shipping network, in order to gather sufficient supplies of rice before exporting […]
