Addressing an event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cambodia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the capital, he said the country needs to implement measures to ensure sustainable development after the graduation.

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
