Speaking at the event, President of the Cambodian National Assembly Heng Samrin affirmed the Salvation Front not only saved Cambodia from the Pol Pot genocidal regime but also helped restore, construct and develop Cambodia on all aspects.
On December 2, 1978, the KUFNS was formed at Snoul district, Kratie province, in the context of turmoil and pain under the genocidal regime of the Khmer Rouge.
Under the leadership of Heng Samrin, Chia Sim, Hun Sen, the KUFNS united all strata of Cambodian society and with the help of Vietnamese voluntary soldiers created the victory on July 1, 1979, bringing peace, independence and prosperity to Cambodia.-VNA
