Cambodian strongman leader joins thousands in 'stability' ceremony

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

There is no getting away from the fact that he has presided over the longest period of peace since independence. Stability is what this country needs, not ill-informed opinions.

Cambodia’s economy continues to grow at an impressive pace. Growth has benefited from a stable macroeconomic environment, an open trade and investment regime, as well as the country’s location in the world’s fastest-growing region and its relatively young population.

Looking ahead, the economic outlook is positive, although significant challenges remain.

The recently published IMF staff report on Cambodia projects economic activity to grow by around seven percent over the next few years. Some investors appear in wait-and-see mode ahead of next year’s general elections.

However, on the upside, the global outlook is favourable, public spending is increasing, construction momentum remains robust and tourism activity has picked up pace. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/ ... or-hun-sen

2 party system always get nothing done, best is a 1 party system but with a strong constitution, neutral army, neutral judicial system and peaceful procedure for transfer of power to ensure that if the party in power is not doing a good job, next election they are out and the next party can try their hands at it
