The lessons of the past should steer us towards ensuring lasting legacies for generations yet to be born.

Let me reassure that the Kingdom of Cambodia a country with independence, neutrality, peace, freedom, democracy and human rights as you all have seen, shall be existing with no end.

Pol Pot will surrender, be captured or commit suicide.

I not only weaken the opposition, I’m going to make them dead ... and if anyone is strong enough to try to hold a demonstration, I will beat all those dogs and put them in a cage.

Cambodia possesses now the rights to look far into the future and everything for making a future construction is waiting for the Cambodian own efforts.

Peace, so elusive in the past many decades, now finally prevails all over the country.

Yet, our achievements also mask many continuing failings and seem to expose more future dangers.
