PM: Khmer New Year will go ahead in 2022 after 2 year absence

PM Hun Sen has announced his intention to celebrate Khmer New Year in 2022, after a gap of 2 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking at the the occasion of the inauguration of National Road No. 7 in Kratie province this morning, the PM reminded the people not to forget to protect themselves by implementing the three measures to protect themselves, especially to continue to promote the vaccination campaign as well as the dose.

The PM added “So, please call on our people to make efforts not to go backwards after missing the New Year for two years….let’s dance for fun, but dance a little apart, do not crowd.” The PM also said that he had negotiated to buy 5 million doses of Sinovac vaccine from China, but the Chinese ambassador told him that there was no need to order and that China would provide it.

The PM added that, due to the third dose campaign, the number of vaccines in stock has dropped to 8.8 million doses, so in the first half of this year, 8 million doses will be filled, of which Cambodia orders 3 million doses and China gives 5 million doses.
