The new government has been unveiled with the appointment of more than 10 new young generation ministers, most of whom are sons, daughters, a son-in-law and nephew of previous ministers and leaders.

The government cabinet, which marks a new chapter in Cambodia’s history, was announced by Hun Sen via his Telegram channel on Thursday.

Hun Sen did not say who will hold each government position but earlier on Wednesday, in a voice message, he said that Khuon Sodary has been designated for the president of the National Assembly, Cheam Yeap, designated as first vice president and Vong Sauth, as second vice president.

Dith Munty will retire as head of the Supreme Court, Hun Sen said.
