In the third reshuffle since taking workplace final 12 months in August, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet Wednesday appointed Prak Sokhonn as new international minister.

All 112 lawmakers unanimously voted to nominate Sokhonn, 70, the premier posted on X.

Prak Sokhonn, who additionally held the ministerial place between 2016 and 2023, succeeds Sok Chenda Sophea, who retains his place as deputy prime minister.

“This reshuffle is to promote more efficient implementation of Cambodia’s foreign policy,” Hun advised the parliament earlier than the vote. “It is essential to maintain and enhance traditional relations, solidarity, and multi-sectoral cooperation with countries and key partners for mutual benefits.”

“The Southeast Asian country will continue to join more actively with the world for the cause of peace and stability, as well as to address global challenging issues,” he mentioned.
