HM officially Cambodia's Prime Minister

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.

HM is now officially the Prime Minister of Cambodia after the National Assembly (NA) gave him a vote of confidence on the morning of August 22, the second day of the inaugural session of the NA’s 7th legislative term.

Outgoing NA president Heng Samrin read the outcome of the vote, declaring that 123 of the 125 members of parliament voted in favour of Manet.

The plenary session also gave a vote of confidence to Khuon Sudary, electing her as NA president, the first women ever to assume this role.

Manet, 45, is a lawmaker for Phnom Penh. He succeeds his father former Prime Minister HE who had been in power for nearly four decades. HE remains president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), which won 120 out of the total 125 parliament seats in the July 23 general election.


King Norodom Sihamoni has bestowed upon Manet the honorific “Kitti Tesaphibal Bindit”, a title for a leader with profound knowledge and highest intelligence who will lead the country to greater prosperity.

I suppose it's not that long when you look at other heads of state.
eg Emperor Naruhito of Japan
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Naruhito, Emperor of Japan, Son of Heaven, Head of the Imperial Family, Symbol of the State and of the Unity of the People of Japan.

Though King Felipe VI of Spain seems to have everyone beaten with his official form of address.
His Majesty King Felipe the Sixth of Spain, King of Castile, of León, of Aragon, of the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Majorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Corsica, of Murcia, of Menorca, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of Gibraltar, of the Canary Islands, of the East and West Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea; Archduke of Austria; Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant, of Milan, of Athens, and of Neopatria; Count of Habsburg, of Flanders, of Tyrol, of Roussillon, and of Barcelona; Lord of Biscay and of Molina.

"Kitthy Pandit" is probably a better pronunciation, but Khmer people have a hard time distinguishing between the letters "b" and "p".

Khmer has a 3rd phoneme somewhere in between the English "b" and "p" sounds. So its more that (coupled with no standardised form of transliteration), English just doesn't represent Cambodian properly yet.

Good news for expats, it's business as usual.

Bad news for citizens, it's business as usual.
