In addition, the congress is expected to elect additional positions of party vice chairman, member of the Standing Committee and member of the CPP Central Executive Committee.

Speaking at the opening session, CPP Honorary President Samdech Heng Samrin reviewed the situation in Cambodia during the recent special period, the 7th National Assembly has just established a new Royal Government with a young leadership team that has been planned by the party for a long time. This shows that the CPP has never been negligent or lacked initiative in its strategic work.

According to Samdech Heng Samrin, all CPP's comments always adhere to objective, comprehensive, comprehensive, specific historical and developmental perspectives. However, preparations for generational transfer are necessary, and it is necessary to carefully consider the appropriate time for transfer to ensure continued maintenance of peace , stability, security and development of the country.

CPP Honorary President Samdech Heng Samrin said that the country's situation through the results of the National Assembly election on July 23, 2023, in which the CPP received an overwhelming 82.3% of the votes, shows that the people continue to support the CPP, continue to support Samdech Techo Hun Sen and support Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet as the next Prime Minister with high confidence.

He stated: “It is the election results that allow the party to set a specific time for the generational transition right from the beginning of the 7th National Assembly term. That is also the time to open up opportunities for the old generation of leaders to continue to monitor and support the leadership activities of the new generation in a wise and optimistic manner. That is the actual situation of the CPP.”

Mr. Heng Samrin emphasized that, after nearly four months since the inauguration of the 7th National Assembly and the 7th Royal Government, under the leadership of the new government headed by Prime Minister Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, the general situation in Cambodia remains stable in terms of politics, economy and society, especially foreign affairs are more active.

The CPP Honorary President also thanked party members for their efforts in fulfilling the party's tasks, and thanked the people as well as foreign friends, development partners, domestic and international organizations for their great contributions to Cambodia.
