1. The Party has political righteousness in all circumstances and situations.
2. The Party is always tied with the people, dares to think, dares to speak, dares to act, and dares to take responsibility, making the people love and trust the Party.
3. The Party has a strong organisational structure from top to bottom, with numerous members and clear, thorough working methods.
4. The Party has a loyal cadre of officials with competence, virtue, and morality.
5. The Party has paid meticulous attention to building generations of successors.

“These reasons are most crucial for the party’s continued leadership of the country to ensure long-term peace and development, which is the aspiration of the people,” Samdech Techo underlined.
CPP was founded on June 28, 1951 as the Kampuchea People’s Revolutionary Party. It was renamed the Cambodian People’s Party in 1991.
