He is a Chinese son-in-law and a close friend of our country. He is a loyal implementer of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the first foreign leader to visit our country during the epidemic. He is Hun Sen, the current Prime Minister of Cambodia and the main leader of the Cambodian People's Party. Next, I will lead you to learn about Hun Sen, who is both a "Chinese son-in-law" and a "Cambodia Iron Man". Let’s first turn back to February 5, 2020.
At that time, our country was still fighting and working hard to fight the epidemic, this war where there was no smoke of gunpowder. Due to the epidemic, some countries have begun to withdraw their overseas Chinese and have also stopped flights with our country. But there is such a leader who dares to face the wind and reflects what true feelings are when we are in trouble. On February 5, Hun Sen's special plane arrived at Beijing Airport and started the visit of the first foreign leader to my country after the outbreak.
This visit was not arranged in advance, but a temporary decision. Before that, Hun Sen had just attended the World Peace Alliance Summit in South Korea. At the summit, Hun Sen said that the new coronavirus is not a problem for China, but also a problem for the world. You should know that at that time, many Western countries spread rumors and slandered our country, saying that the new coronavirus originated in our country, and attempted to belittle our country's international image in order to use it, and even more so, they wanted to use it to smear our country. During our visit to my country, Hun Sen repeatedly stated: The Cambodian government and the people will stand firmly with our people to help our people fight the new crown epidemic and overcome the virus.
Hun Sen is also different from other leaders' high-soundingness, and he has also put it into practice.
Hun Sen said that during the special period of fighting the epidemic, Cambodia will not evacuate overseas Chinese, nor will it stop flights with our country. He also called on Cambodia's students in our country to actively participate in and cooperate with our country's anti-epidemic operations, and urgently dispatched a batch of medical supplies at home to directly reach our country. This move not only showed the friendship between our country and Cambodia's loyal friends to the people of the world, but also slapped the faces of those "anti-Chinese" politicians and media who wanted to use the epidemic in our country to slander and slander. What best reflects friendship is not to add icing on the cake, but to help in time.
Hun Sen visited my country during the epidemic and received reports from major domestic media, and domestic netizens even shouted the slogan "When the epidemic is over, we will go to Cambodia to travel and consume." In addition, our government and the main leaders met with Prime Minister Hun Sen respectively. Foreign Minister Wang Yi personally went to the airport to welcome Hun Sen, as well as President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang's personal reception.
shows that Hun Sen’s visit to our country is of great significance. Hun Sen has successfully run for Cambodia's Prime Minister at the age of 33. It is deeply loved by the Cambodian people and is even called the tumbler in the Cambodian political circle. Hun Sen has now become the longest-term leader of the country in Southeast Asia. During this period, he experienced countless political tests, but he still did not change his original aspiration, sought happiness for the people, dared to use iron fist methods to fight against Western hegemony, and safeguarded Cambodia's sovereignty and integrity. Hun Sen was born in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia. His ancestral home is Chaozhou, my country. Hun Sen was born in poor background and his childhood education was mostly completed in temples in Cambodia. Hun Sen has developed an "iron-fisted" character of self-reliance and self-reliance and courage to speak out for the poor since childhood.
It is the influence of this personality that Hun Sen joined the Cambodian People's Army in the 1970s and was like a fish in water in the army. He served as the company commander, battalion commander and regiment commander of the People's Army. But in 1975, Hun Sen's political career ushered in a major suffering and turning point. The Khmer Rouge army in Cambodia relied on foreign military aid to capture Phnom Penh and overthrow the Longno regime. The great purge of the Longno regime led many major leaders to be arrested and even killed. Seeing this, Hun Sen did not choose to remain silent, but instead had the courage to explode. In 1977, he and Xie Xing (the secretary of the 20th district in the eastern region of Cambodia) and Han Sanglin (the secretary of the Cambodian Provincial Party Committee) went to Vietnam for asylum, looking for opportunities, and planning to return to the country to achieve domestic unification.
During this period, Hun Sen quickly became the main leader. In 1979, he successfully led the Vietnamese army to invade Phnom Penh and overthrew the Khmer Rouge regime.Because of Hun Sen's governing philosophy for the people. Hun Sen became the deputy prime minister of Cambodia's government in 1981 and also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs (Hun Sen became the youngest foreign minister in the world). In 1989, Vietnamese troops withdrew from Cambodia. The signing of the Paris Peace Agreement in 1991 marked the beginning of the Cambodian Republic to move into the door to peacefully build a country. In 1991, Hun Sen also went to Beijing on behalf of the Cambodian government to welcome the Prince Sihanoukville and his wife back. As early as Sihanouk visited the Soviet Union, domestic reactionary forces took the opportunity to overthrow Sihanouk. Sihanouk came to Beijing, our country with a nervous mood, and was welcomed by our old friends, and established a Cambodian provisional government in Beijing.
Also in the same year, Hun Sen and Han Sanglin announced the reform of the political party, and also changed the People's Revolutionary Party to the People's Party, announcing learning from our country and implementing reform and opening up.
In Cambodia, Hun Sen is also called the civilian prime minister, not just because he was born as a civilian. In Southeast Asia, there is often a vicious circle. The gap between the rich and the poor is too large. The country's economic lifeline is often controlled by private consortiums or families. The power of chaebols can often influence the country. When running for Cambodia, some leaders often go to the countryside to understand the people's sentiments, but they are all these condolences. They want to win the support of the people through these small favors, but what about Hun Sen?
Hun Sen often takes the lead in going to the countryside to plant rice seedlings, weed, and help them drive tractors.
Hun Sen's thrift is also reflected in his daily life. Hun Sen’s office building has no brilliant buildings, his office location is just located in an ordinary yard that cannot be found in an ordinary yard. In terms of national policy formulation, he clearly proposed to learn from our country and our country's reform and opening up. As long as it is a major policy formulated by our country, he will study and summarize it and apply it to Cambodia's national governance again.
He also advocated the peaceful reunification of the country and treated the Khmer Rouge. He adopted a peaceful approach to the policy. He would inquire about the political leaders who abandoned the dark and turned to the light. He hoped that in the whole country, he could seek common ground while reserving differences and seek common development. He also pays special attention to good-neighborly and friendly relations with our country.
He has stated more than once in public that he is "China's son-in-law". In an interview with reporters, Hun Sen mentioned that the friendship between China and Cambodia should start from 1279. He believes that Cambodia used to learn Chinese traditional culture, and now he is also learning Chinese policies, and is willing to consolidate the cornerstone of the deep friendship between China and Cambodia and create new glory.
Hun Sen also said that China is truly considering us and contributing to the world's economic development. The Cambodian government has conducted many discussions and concluded that China is not only the lowest loan interest rate, but also has no additional conditions and no suitable organizational intentions. So when natural gas and oil were discovered in Cambodia, Cambodia quickly got in touch with China. In addition, Hun Sen also believes that China's manufacturing has spread all over the world, and China is ahead of the world in terms of manufacturing and at the world's advanced level. Hun Sen also gave an example: When he was playing golf in the United States, he found that the equipment he used was made in China, and he also told reporters, "You see, the United States cannot do without China's manufacturing."
During this COVID-19 pandemic, Hun Sen took the initiative to propose to the Chinese government: he wanted to go to Wuhan to visit international students, but the Chinese government was considering Hun Sen's safety and gently rejected the request. Hun Sen later said that he would visit our country and clearly stated that the Cambodian government and the People's Congress stand firmly with our government and people to fight the new crown epidemic together.
In culture, during his tenure as prime minister, Hun Sen allowed Chinese people to start various associations and carry out men's education. Under the strong advocacy and proposal of "Chinese son-in-law", the Chinese New Year has also become an important custom festival for the Cambodian people. For this reason, an interesting thing happened. Once, when Hun Sen was in a meeting of lawmakers, Hun Sen urged him to end the discussion as soon as possible and go home to kill chickens. Some of the lawmakers present were still confused. Hun Sen explained that today is New Year, and he will go home to kill chickens and reunite his relatives.
politically, the Cambodian government led by Hun Sen has always adhered to the principle of one country and recognized that Taiwan Province is part of our country. Taiwan Province once lured the Cambodian government with various benefits to set up an office in Cambodia. But Hun Sen, on behalf of the Cambodian government, refused harshly. Adhere to good-neighborly and friendly relations with our people's government. Economically, Hun Sen has always believed that trade with our country is an important part of the national economy.
Now, our country has helped the Cambodian government and people build more than 3,000 kilometers of highways and cross-sea bridges. my country has also increased its import of Cambodia's rice, and in the construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, it is to help Cambodia provide strong support in the construction of infrastructure such as electricity, water conservancy, roads, and bridges. On the South China Sea issue, Cambodia has withstood the pressure of the United States, the world hegemony, and insists on safeguarding the relevant interests of our country. He also expressed his gratitude to our country on many diplomatic occasions.
Hun Sen did not succumb to the authority of the United States, the world hegemony, but dared to resist and repay kindness, making his country independent and self-reliant, becoming a beautiful flower that is about to bloom among many countries in Southeast Asia. In public, Hun Sen once said that he wanted to rule until he was 90 years old, wanted to seek benefits for the Cambodian people, and to personally create a better tomorrow for Cambodia. I believe that a political talent from the masses, who is a political talent who starts from the masses will definitely return to the meeting to lead Cambodia on the road to a strong country.
I also believe that this "Chinese son-in-law" will continue to maintain the friendly and friendly relations between our country and Cambodia.
