PM Hun Manet: 'The Importance of Religion is Highlighted When It is Lost'

Phnom Penh: Prime Minister Hun Manet presided over the closing session of the 32nd National Assembly of Monks on the afternoon of November 23, 2024, held at the National Institute of Education. 

The assembly brought together high-ranking officials and monks to discuss vital issues surrounding the Buddhist community in Cambodia. 

Chay Borin, Minister of Cults and Religion, reported that the plenary session, which spanned three days, focused on the implementation of past Sangha Prakas and the formulation of future strategies to enhance the practice of Buddhism and its associated values.

Minister Borin stressed the significance of this assembly in bolstering unity within the Sangha and emphasized the joint issuance of a new Sangha Prakas intended to foster collaboration among Buddhist leaders. Since its inception in 1992, the National Assembly has served as an essential platform for monks across various hierarchies to engage in dialogue and address challenges facing the community. The assembly has resulted in 31 Royal Sangha Prakas issued to date.

In his address, Prime Minister Hun Manet underscored the essential role of religion in upholding Khmer cultural and ethical values. He highlighted the interconnection between political stability, religious trust, and national development, noting that cultural identity must be preserved even amid modern advancements. "The Importance of Religion is Highlighted When It is Lost," he remarked. 

Prime Minister Hun Manet called upon Cambodian youth to reflect on their values and to utilize social media responsibly, advocating for adherence to Khmer moral principles. He pointed to the importance of education—both at home and in society—as foundational to nurturing good citizens.


Furthermore, Prime Minister Hun Manet acknowledged the pivotal role of Buddhist education in instilling virtues, lawfulness, and compassion within society, which he claimed are crucial for fostering harmony and sustainable development in the nation.

The Prime Minister also urged monks and monasteries to actively participate in conflict resolution within the Buddhist community and protect the heritage of Wat Aram. He urged the Ministry of Cults and Religion to work closely with the Sangha Council to enhance the digital literacy of monks and public servants, aligning with the Cambodia Digital Government Policy 2022-2035.
