AKP Phnom Penh, September 16, 2025 --

National Assembly (NA) President Samdech Maha Rathsapheathika Thipadei Khuon Sudary spoke highly of the Techo International Airport, stressing that it emerges under the shade of peace as a source of pride for all Cambodians.

A high-level Cambodian parliamentary delegation led by Samdech Khuon Sudary proudly visited the newly-built Techo International Airport this morning before leaving for the 46th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) General Assembly in Malaysia.

According to the NA, Samdech Khuon Sudary and the delegation expressed their great excitement and pride over this historic achievement. She highlighted that this success was realised under the shade of peace, made possible by Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Architect of Peace of Cambodia, who sacrificed everything to bring peace and development to the nation.

She further underlined that Cambodia continues to be safeguarded and advanced under the leadership of Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, a wise and dynamic young leader with strong determination to achieve the national vision of becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income country by 2050.

The Techo International Airport commenced operations on Sept. 9, 2025 and will be officially inaugurated on Oct. 20, 2025 under the high presidency of Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet.

The operation of this large-scale international airport marks a significant milestone for Cambodia’s aviation, economic, and tourism sectors. It stands as a profound source of national pride and as one of the key international gateways for the Mekong region. Samdech Khuon Sudary emphasised that without peace there can be no development, urging all citizens to remain united in safeguarding peace for the benefit of future generations.

The airport, constructed on approximately 2,600 hectares of land spanning Kandal Stung district of Kandal province and parts of Bati district of Takeo province, is classified as a 4F-level international airport—the highest category in global aviation standards—capable of accommodating all types of aircraft, including the world’s largest passenger planes such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747.
