AKP Phnom Penh, July 26, 2025 -- Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Civil Service H.E. Hun Many has called on the international community not to forget that Cambodians’ voices and lives matter.

In a Facebook post this evening, H.E. Hun Many wrote:

“The world should not forget… 

In the 1970s the international community refused to look what was really happening inside Cambodia, and because of that 3 millions Cambodians perished and unmeasurable sufferings incurred during the Khmer Rouge regime. 

Is history repeating itself in 2025? 

Currently as the international community chooses to blindly believe Thai fabricated narrative and outright lies, while turning the blind eyes on what’s really happening inside Cambodia and how many Cambodians are sufferings and have been displaced from their homes. 

Will Khmer sufferings be similar to our tragic past in the 1970s, happening again in 2025? Will injustice befall on Cambodia and Cambodians once again, because the international community chooses to overlook the aggressions and the harm that Thailand is perpetrating against the Kingdom of Cambodia. 

Cambodians voice and lives matter…”
