Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen expressed his hope that the Cambodian athletes will get better performances compared to the previous games in other countries.
Speaking at 5th get-together with more than 4,000 sports leaders, coaches and national athletes at Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre here this evening, Samdech Techo Hun Sen appealed to the athletes to train harder and put all efforts to win double medals as the host of the games.
Samdech Techo Prime Minister said the competitions will be hard as there will be more than 12,000 athletes from 10 other countries, but Cambodia is the host, so we have to try harder.
Cambodia is going to organise the 32nd SEA Games from May 5 to 17, and the 12th ASEAN Para Games from June 3 to 9, 2023.
In the 31st SEA Games in Vietnam, Cambodian athletes won in total 63 medals, including 9 gold, 13 silver, and 41 bronze. Cambodia ranked 8th among 11 participating nations.
