Prime Minister Hun Sen added to speculation that his eldest son, Manet, is one day likely to succeed him as Cambodian leader by telling members of the Cambodian diaspora in Switzerland that “if he is elected, he can be prime minister”.

 

Manet, 41, has been promoted repeatedly and recently became the second most powerful person in the military after assuming the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces. He is also the commander of the army’s infantry.

 

Manet has recently been adopting a more prominent role in the Kingdom’s political affairs, meeting regional and world leaders, while also accompanying the prime minister on high-profile trips abroad.
