Health problems prevented Prime Minister Hun Sen from attending a celebration for the founding of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party on Monday, officials said.
Some 10,000 members gathered to mark 59 years since the party was founded. Hun Sen, he party’s vice chairman, missed a meeting with a UN rights envoy earlier this month due to complaints of pain above his left eye, which he lost during fighting in the 1970s.
Party officials used Monday’s celebration to reaffirm their support for him as prime minster and his policies.
