Phnom Penh, March 26, 2024: Hun Sen, President of the Supreme Privy Council to His Majesty the King, will head a high-ranking delegation to the annual Boao Forum in Hainan province, China, from March 27 to 29. The visit comes at the invitation of Li Baodong, Secretary General of the Boao Forum for Asia, according to a recent announcement from the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

The ministry's press release, issued this evening, highlighted Hun Sen's scheduled speech at the conference's opening. This year, the forum will explore the theme "Asia and the World: Common Challenges, Shared Responsibilities," focusing on fostering international cooperation and addressing major development issues.
