AKP Phnom Penh, June 15, 2025 --

His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, has delivered a heartfelt message to the nation on the occasion of Father’s Day, expressing deep appreciation and love for all fathers.

The monarch emphasised that Father’s Day serves as an important reminder to recognise and honor the value of fathers and the culture of gratitude. He described fathers as possessing noble virtues—compassion, kindness, generosity, and forbearance—which are selflessly offered to their children as part of their moral duty.

His Majesty noted that fathers are the steadfast pillars of the family and society, constantly caring for and worrying about their children with immeasurable kindness and devotion.

“Fathers are the ancestors of all children, and therefore every child must respect and express gratitude toward them,” the King underlined.

Additionally, His Majesty stressed that fathers have a crucial role in fostering joy, happiness, and prosperity, contributing to sustainable socio-economic development. He also encouraged the promotion of ethical and virtuous values in fatherhood, which form the foundation of a strong and moral society.
