Ouch Borith, the secretary of state for the foreign ministry, noted that there were numerous noteworthy events taking place around the world, particularly in Europe where the Ukrainian war caused by Russia’s invasion was taking place on a scale that defied all predictions.
By co-sponsoring and supporting all UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions denouncing Russia’s invasion, he claimed that Cambodia had “properly and strongly” supported its stance in support of the UN Charter, particularly with regard to the conflict in Ukraine. He pointed out that Cambodia’s position has strengthened its ties with the west and shown that the country has a foreign policy based on rules.
Borith recalled Cambodia’s 2022 ASEAN chairmanship, which he claimed was among the most difficult chairmanships in recent years among those presided over by other nations.
