In a message on the evening of September 24, 2025, Senate President Hun Sen recalled an assassination attempt against him in Siem Reap on September 24, 1998, 27 years earlier.
He said surviving had enabled him to continue the win-win policy and help achieve peace on December 29, 1998.
Hun Sen said that had he been killed or wounded, Cambodia might not have achieved today’s peace and development, and other political leaders might also have died. These were his reflections on a hypothetical alternative course of events.
He said he had survived another 27 years and hoped to live for 27 more.
