Hun Manet was appointed Cambodia's new leader on Aug 7.
PHNOM PENH : Hun Manet was appointed Cambodia's new leader by the king on Monday , after having effectively been given the post from his father who ruled for nearly four decades.
On Monday, following a request from Hun Sen, King Norodom Sihamoni issued a royal decree stating that he"appoints Dr Hun Manet as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia for the 7th mandate of the parliament". While insisting he would not interfere with his son's rule, Hun Sen has also promised Cambodians that he will continue to dominate the country's politics.
Hun Sen rejected those allegations and said his handover, a dynastic succession compared by some observers to North Korea, would maintain peace and avoid"bloodshed" should he die in office. And there are few expectations Hun Manet will chart a more liberal path than his father, despite being educated in England and the United States.
