During the 18 March 1970 anniversary, Hun Sen paid tribute to the [Sihanouk’s] Sangkum Reastr Niyum regime.
Norodom Sihanouk wrote a thank you letter to Hun Sen. The letter dated 20 March said: “I deeply thank you, Samdach Hun Sen, for providing justice to me and to our history. I wish you a large success in your long term mission as head of the kingdom’s government,” King-Father wrote from his residence in Beijing.
Reminiscing about the 18 March 1970 coup d’état, Hun Sen expressed his admiration toward to the Sangkum Reastr Niyum regime while then-Prince Sihanouk was leading Cambodia between 1954 and 1970.
During a travel to the province of Pursat on Saturday 21 March, Hun Sen again evoked the date of 18 March 1970 and the troubled period that followed: “If there were no such wars, Cambodia would have continued to be developed under the continuity of that era where the country was being led [by Norodom Sihanouk],” he indicated.
Hun Sen took opportunity to criticize “some foreigners” who “create obstacles to peace in Cambodia.” “Dear foreigners, if you do not wish to help the Khmer people, do not push us to make war either. It was the war that led us to the Pol Pot regime,” he added.
