Cambodian army chief Hun Manet appointed leader, succeeding his father
Cambodia’s king has officially appointed army chief Hun Manet to succeed his father Hun Sen as the nation’s leader later this month after their party sealed victory in a one-sided election last month.
The royal decree signed by King Norodom Sihamoni means the 45-year-old Hun Manet is officially the incoming Prime Minister and will take office on August 22 when the new National Assembly adopts the new cabinet.
