Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many, President of the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia (UYFC), said that holding meaningful traditional boat-racing events contributes to preserving Cambodia’s rich cultural traditions.
While presiding over boat races, floating illuminated boats and releasing sky lanterns at the Stung Sen riverside park in Kampong Thom province on 7 November 2026, Hun Many said: “Holding this meaningful traditional sporting event not only contributes to preserving Cambodia’s rich cultural traditions, but also provides a valuable opportunity for provincial leaders, civil servants, boat racers and people in Kampong Thom to gather and strengthen solidarity.”
The Deputy Prime Minister also expressed sincere admiration for Kampong Thom’s rapid progress and its continuing new achievements. He encouraged more such traditional and tourism events to bring families in Kampong Thom together, provide enjoyment and showcase the province’s appeal as a destination for visitors from all directions.
