AKP Phnom Penh, October 21, 2026 --

Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate, has criticised extremist groups for opposing issues without knowing the facts, citing their criticism of a recently promoted book on his Triangle Strategy.

In a social media post on Wednesday evening, Samdech Techo Hun Sen said four young intellectuals working at the Senate had recently promoted a book written by Ieng Pisey about the Triangle Strategy, which Samdech Techo Hun Sen introduced for implementation on Dec. 2, 1998, at the first meeting of the new Council of Ministers during the second legislature of the National Assembly.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen noted that the book contains 1,111 pages, but the leader of an extremist group had accused it of falsifying, distorting or fabricating history without having read it.

He sarcastically praised those who made such accusations without examining the book, saying their actions demonstrated that extremist groups opposed everything, including matters they did not yet understand.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen added that some Thai media outlets had republished the criticism, describing this as even more surprising and amusing. He questioned whether there was cooperation between Cambodian extremist groups and certain Thai media outlets.

The Senate President concluded by thanking some Thai media outlets for their continued coverage of him.
