PHNOM PENH, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's former Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen was appointed as the president of the Supreme Privy Council to the King on Tuesday, according to a royal decree.

Signed by King Norodom Sihamoni, the royal decree said Hun Sen had built peace, stability and unity for Cambodia and had led the kingdom to development in all fields. He had also maintained national independence and territorial integrity during his tenure.

Hun Sen, 71, had served as Cambodia's prime minister for more than 38 years before his step-down. Earlier on Tuesday, his eldest son Hun Manet, 45, was confirmed as the Southeast Asian kingdom's new prime minister for a five-year term from 2023 to 2028 in a parliamentary vote. Enditem
