Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has defended a recent military promotion given to his son, Hun Manet.
Hun Manet was promoted to become a two-star general earlier this month.
He is already chief of the defence ministry's anti-terrorism unit, and deputy commander of the prime minister's bodyguards.
In a national radio address, Hun Sen has insisted his 33-year-old son is well-qualified for the roles, saying he's served in Cambodia's armed forces for 16 years.
Political analysts say Hun Manet's appointment may reflect preparations by the prime minister for a possible succession in the future.
