Cambodia’s king has approved the nomination of the eldest son of Prime Minister Hun Sen to become the next premier, according to a decree, confirming a long-awaited transition of power.
The decree endorsing Western-educated army general Hun Manet, 45, was shared on the Telegram channel of his father and signals the imminent end of the former Khmer Rouge guerrilla’s nearly four decades at the helm of a country rebounding from decades of war and poverty.
Hun Sen last month said he would step down and hand over power to his son in August, ending a 38-year rule during which he established stability after years of war but stifled democracy in the process. He will however maintain important posts in the legislature and the ruling party. Hun Manet, 45, was educated in the United States and Britain, where received a master’s degree and doctorate respectively, both in economics.
