Welcome To Cambodia
Recent History
Future stability is tied to improving the country's
long-suffering economy, eradicating the
entrenched culture of corruption, reducing the size of
the military and answering the troubled question of
royal succession.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party won
elections in 2003, but political stalemate lasted until
June 2004, when Hun Sen found a coalition partner and
could resume his prime ministership. In October 2004,
King Sihanouk announced his intention to abdicate on
account of ill health and annoyance at the country's
political infighting.
