Chea Sim, the president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, appealed to all Cambodians on Tuesday to embrace Buddhism and let go of jealousy and violence in favor of peace, political stability, social order and development.
Chea Sim, who is also the president of the Senate, spoke at the opening of the 18th annual conference for Buddhist monks.
“Buddhism is virtuous and a leading power to make all of Cambodian society promote social morals and to abandon violence,” he said.
