Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on February 17 that all state agencies have been operating as normal despite the opposition's ongoing parliament boycott.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for students at the Royal School of Administration in Phnom Penh all the legislative, executive and judicial bodies have been functioning normally without any disruptions.
Hun Sen also reiterated that the government will do its best to maintain political stability, security, and social order so as to ensure the national development.
Regarding the country’s economic prospects, the PM noted that the country's economy is expected to grow 7 percent in 2014, driven by robust growth in agriculture, garment exports and tourism, after achieving 7.3 percent and 7.6 percent growth in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Meanwhile, its inflation will be curbed at a manageable rate this year, he added.
However, some analysts said ongoing post-election dispute between the ruling and opposition parties may slow down the economic growth this year if it lasts for a longer time.
Cambodia has been trapped in political dispute after the July's election results showed that PM Hun Sen's ruling party won 68 parliamentary seats and Sam Rainsy's opposition party got the remaining 55 seats.
Claiming serious irregularities, the opposition refused to accept the outcome and has boycotted the parliament and held many protests to demand the resignation of Hun Sen and a re-election.
Representatives of the two parties are scheduled to meet again on February 18 in an effort to unstop the post-election political crisis after several talks in September failed to reach any agreements.-VNA
