“18 March 1970: it was 40 years ago that Cambodia descended into war. 18 March 2010: 40 years later, Cambodia is at peace and development is taking shape throughout the country,” this is what PM Hun Xen declared on Thursday morning during the inauguration of a stretch of road from Bankung to O’Yadaw in Ratanakiri province.
Hun Xen said directly that the inauguration of this stretch of road was not by accident, but it was intentionally done to tell the world that 40 years earlier and 40 years later, Cambodia is different.
Hun Xen recalled the historical event leading to the toppling of then-Prince Norodom Sihanouk by Marshall Lon Nol. Hun Xen also scolded Lon Nol, saying that this event led Cambodia and its people into destruction.
