Cambodian CPP celebrates 56th anniversary of its founding

The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) commemorated the 56th anniversary of its founding on Thursday.

The Khmer People's Revolutionary Party, presently known as the Cambodian People's Party, was founded on June 28, 1951 by the Cambodian people's struggle for independence and freedom, Chea Sim, the Chairman of CPP, said while addressing a ceremony in Phnom Penh.

In the past five decades, serving as the leading political force born out of people's movement, the CPP overcomes untold obstacles, while bringing about great historic achievements for the nation, and clearly showing its great capability and nature, he added.

The CPP will continue to closely cooperate with the co-ruling Funcinpec Party to successfully implement the policies of the Cambodian government, Chea Sim said, adding that this cooperation will continue to consolidate beyond the 2008 parliamentary elections.

Meanwhile, Chea Sim also expressed his deepest grief over the tragic accident caused by the plane crash on June 25.

"The meeting shares its deepest and saddest condolence with families and relatives of those who died in the accident and wish them serenity world," he said.

"I also wish to express here of my appreciation and deepest thank to the armed forces and people for their wholehearted efforts under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen in search for and rescuing victims in the tragic accident," he added.
