AKP Phnom Penh, May 30, 2026 -- 
As Cambodia navigates diplomatic and legal battles over its border, Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet is doubling down on the welfare of displaced families –prioritising not just shelter and food, but the education of their children. 
“The Royal Government will never abandon any citizen,” said H.E. Ke Kim Yan, Member of the Supreme Privy Council to His Majesty the King and lawmaker for Banteay Meanchey province.  
Speaking Friday after aid distribution to a temporary school in Svay Chek district’s Sla Kram village, he reaffirmed the Royal Government’s commitment to easing hardships for those living on the front line. 
Through the Cambodian Veterans and Retirees Association, authorities have built temporary housing and basic infrastructure – roads, clean water, electricity – alongside makeshift schools to keep children learning despite the crisis. 
H.E. Ke Kim Yan urged locals to trust the Royal Government’s leadership as border challenges persist. During the visit, he and a delegation from the Visakha Football Club delivered relief and cash to 57 teachers and 1,735 students. Five local schools received 500,000 Riels (US$125) each. 
Senators, lawmakers, provincial council leaders, local authorities, and youth representatives joined the event – a show of unity with border communities.
