Hanoi begets the CPP which is the SRN’s younger brother, who begets the SRN: Sihanouk or Hanoi?

King Norodom Sihanouk, the former monarch of Cambodia showed his face on TVK, the national TV station, in the evening of 15 July and he said that the CPP is the direct younger brother of the Sangkum Reastr Niyum [Sihanouk’s party in the 50s and 60s] because it developed the country in all fields up until now.

King-Father, who is currently staying with Queen-Mother at their palace in Siem Reap province after they returned from their medical care in China on 04 July, said, during the inauguration of royal constructions through photo display and the distribution of royal gifts to poor people, that following his royal cruisade that made France return full independence to Cambodia in 1953, he led the country to progress in all fields during the Sangkum Reastr Niyum (SRN) regime, and now, the true younger of the SRN is led by the 3 Samdachs who are famous leaders and they can be considered as the lineage continuation of their true older brother, the SRN led by Sihanouk in the 60s which made our nation prosperous and free.

King-Father heaped praises on the new generation which is the CPP that continued the true lineage of the SRN. He said that the CPP is the true younger brother of the SRN and he also heaped praises on the leadership of the current government also. The ex-king said: “We support our government, and our government also provides me with funding to build the country by myself, and my personal constructions will continue on every single year.”

King-Father also said that he is very happy to meet with his people at his palace in Siem Reap, a palace he considers as a historical place during his cruisade to demand Cambodia’s full independence from France in 1953. It was after that that he left Siem Reap province to return back to Phnom Penh.

King-Father said: “I am very happy to receive Kaun Chao [children and grandchildren] inside my village which is a famous historical place … Since then, we built our nation together to bring progress and that is the government led by Samdach Hun Xen, the famous royal leader, the Senate led by Samdech Chea Xim, the famous royal leader, the National Assembly led by Samdach Heng Xamrin, the famous royal leader, and all the civil servants, the soldiers, and the entire population… If we know how to unite, we will win, we have the strength to do anything with victory, therefore, we can defend independence with victory, we can protect our territorial integrity with victory, we can defend peace with victory and we can keep on building the nation forward in all fields with victory also.”
