The Cambodian government designated May 12 as Veterans and Retirees Day each year to honour veterans and retirees for their courage and service to the country. KPS99 TV in Preah Sihanouk obtained the prime minister’s sub-decree on August 21.
Article 2 calls on ministries and institutions, subnational administrations, civil society, public and private establishments and other stakeholders to promote the observance and help the public understand the contributions and example of Cambodia’s veterans and retirees.
The Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation is to organize the annual observance with the Office of the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, other relevant ministries and institutions, subnational administrations, civil society and other stakeholders.
