Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction and chair of the government working group for Preah Sihanouk Say Samal called for a provincial development master plan. Priorities included city and land planning, urban development, coastal improvements, tourist-port development, infrastructure and electricity and clean-water networks reaching every household and community.
The proposals aimed to create new achievements for the nation and people, particularly turning the coast into a strong, high-potential economic corridor to drive national growth.
He spoke at the January 24, 2026 closing of the provincial administration’s meeting reviewing 2025 work and setting 2026 directions, and instructed working groups at every level and local authorities to continue key tasks:
First, maintain local security, public order and orderly communities; eliminate online scams from the province; address land disputes, disorderly construction and urban management; and prevent false information.
Second, prioritise training and human-resource development in line with local potential and labour-market demand.
Third, encourage grassroots entrepreneurial thinking and innovation in creating livelihoods to strengthen the local economic base.
Fourth, attract investment from domestic and international development partners while protecting and maintaining existing provincial investment.
He praised and thanked the provincial administration, working groups, civil servants, competent forces and residents for strengthening solidarity, internal unity and innovative provincial development suited to actual conditions and Phase One of the Pentagonal Strategy’s people, roads, water, electricity and technology priorities, despite national challenges and global crises.
