He emphasised that addressing the immediate needs of conflict-affected families remains central to the organisation’s humanitarian mission, particularly in crisis situations.  

The event was also attended by H.E. Nuom Sophorn, Member of National Assembly for Banteay Meanchey; as well as senior provincial officials; district-level officials; and local authorities. Their collective presence demonstrated a unified response to community challenges and reinforced the importance of coordinated action during emergencies.
