PHNOM PENH -- Cambodia's outgoing Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen on Thursday afternoon unveiled the incoming government members led by his eldest son Hun Manet.
After a meeting with them at the Cambodian People's Party (CPP)'s headquarters in Phnom Penh, Hun Sen, who is also the CPP's president, released photos on social media showing Prime Minister-Designate Hun Manet posing for group photos with his new cabinet members.
According to the draft list of the new cabinet members, the new five-year-term cabinet will be made up of one prime minister, 10 deputy prime ministers, 11 senior ministers and 30 ministers.
