Phnom Penh, 14 July 2025 — The National Assembly of the Kingdom of Cambodia hosted a warm welcome reception on Monday evening at the Cambodiana Hotel for representatives from AIPA Member States and observer parliaments attending the 16th AIPA Caucus.
On behalf of Samdech Maha Rathsapheathika Thipadei Khuon Sudary, President of the National Assembly of Cambodia, Hon. Vong Sauth, Second Vice-President of the National Assembly, extended a heartfelt welcome to the delegates and expressed his appreciation for their presence in Phnom Penh.
“Under the theme ‘Peace Through Dialogue: Parliamentary Path Forward,’ this Caucus reflects our collective commitment to advancing peace, cooperation, and development through meaningful parliamentary dialogue,” Hon. Vong Sauth remarked.
He highlighted two notable milestones of this year’s Caucus: the inaugural Parliamentary Dialogue, which opens the floor not only to AIPA Member Parliaments but also to observer parliaments, and the AIPA Roadshow, a sideline activity designed to foster direct engagement between parliamentarians and ASEAN youth.
“As we gather tonight in the spirit of friendship and collaboration, let us celebrate the bonds that unite us and reaffirm our shared vision for a peaceful, prosperous, and resilient community,” he added, inviting guests to enjoy Cambodia’s warm hospitality and the rich flavors of Khmer cuisine.
