Phnom Penh (VNA) - A meeting was held in Phnom Penh on June 28 to celebrate the 73rd founding anniversary of the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP).
In a speech to more than 10,000 Party members and supporters, CPP President and President of the Senate Samdech Techo Hun Sen said that for 73 years, the CPP has been the only political force that has always lived with the people despite the very complex and changing national situation.

Hun Sen said the CPP is committed to doing everything in its power to strengthen national solidarity and unity, to maintain peace and political stability, to protect independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, to safeguard the constitutional monarchy, and to accelerate the development of the nation.
