PHNOM PENH: Veng Sakhon has been officially appointed by the King of Cambodia as a Minister Attached to the Prime Minister, according to a Royal Decree issued on Tuesday, 11 October 2022.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony for students of Phnom Penh International University on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Hun Sen stated that he had presented a letter to the King, asking to have Veng Sakhon appointed as a Minister Attached to the Prime Minister, after being removed from his post as the Minister of Agriculture on 8 October 2022.
