On behalf of Samdech Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia, I am very honored and please to preside over to inaugurate the existing road 113Km from Treng Mean Chey to Preah Vihear Preah Vihear located on the top of Dong Rak Mountain along Cambodian-Thai border.
Preah Vihear situated on mountain plateau at 625m latitude, according to French Geographical map and at 616m latitude according to English Geographical map. Prasat Preah Vihear means respected individual and the great temple. It is translated from Cambodian ancient script. The meaning of Vihear includes arts and history of Cambodia. Architecturally, the temple constructed and decorated with Cambodian sculptures and purely Cambodian artistic works, similar to that of Angkor Wat, which shows that it is totally Cambodian. There were no imitation foreigners works of art.Preah Vihear historical representations were similar to Prasat Ba-puon, even though it was an artifact differences from Angkor Wat. When visiting Preah Vihea, it is historically ensure that Angkor Wat empire predecessor, our noble King Varaman, constructed Preah Vihea. Religiously speaking, and according to the geographic of Preah Vihear located on top of the high mountain, The Royal Highness and people in that era had worship Brahmanism. The temple built to dedicated to Preah Sevak(Nirvana) one of the greatest Brahmanism deities and it is surely been build around the end of 9th century. In 1953, Preah Vihear was invaded by Thailand armed forces as its belonging. With greatest efforts by His Majesty King Norodom Sihanuk who has led previous Royal Government of Cambodia, the King himself has done through many diplomatic channels with Thailand in order to get Preah Vihea back, but it was refused by Thailand. To follow any treaty: Any dispute that cant be reached by diplomatic channel or agreement shall have been given to one or many arbitrators. And if there is no arbitrator, then it shall have given to permanent international court, where our highly respected His Royal Highness, the King had submitted the case to LAHE international court. Victory had been given to Cambodia on 15th January 1962, under the decision of the international court, Preah Vihea belongs to Cambodia, and geographically is on Cambodian land. On the 5th January 1963, after visiting Chom khsan district for newly inauguration our Royal Highness His Majesty the King of Cambodia; The Father of national Patrimony had traveled to Preah Vihear, 40 Km away form Chom khsan district center for our traditional Buddhist religious ceremony; and also to be presided raising Cambodian flag ceremony as a symbol of the returning of our beloved national inheritance that had been stolen by Thai force in 1953. To express his grateful to the virtue of trinity and the wealth power of Preah Vihear temple, His Royal Highness, with two venerable monks, His Royal families, Chairman and members of Parliament, Prime Minister, members of Royal Government, members of the armed forces, and civil servants, provincial governors, ambassadors as well as two lawyers have made the second trip to perform the similar ceremony as it was done on 5th January 1963. The history of Preah Vihear has been long documented since the end of the 9th century. Preah Vihear has linked closely to national history during the past 12 centuries till now; both develop and underdevelop stages. Furthermore, it was heavily destroyed by war under Cambodia Democracy regime. On 7th January 1979, the Angkor land has survived under the flagship of National Salvation Front. During that period, Cambodia was trying its` best and very hard toward development by mean of going through both war and peace. In the new era of new Royal Government under the leadership of Samdech Hun Sen, our noble national figure, the Prime Minister of Cambodia has further fulfilled peace and national reconciliation especially from the end of 1998 to now to express the win-win policy for Cambodia and closed the danger and miserable chapter that has been fallen to Cambodia people for past 2 decades. And just recently, on the 22nd of December 2001, we were very grateful and proud of our highly respected Samdech Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia who has received precious medal award, Lifting up the world with a oneness-heart; from Mr. Sri Chin Moy, the leader of International Peace Center. This highly prestigious award that he has received on that occasion to prove that Samdech Hun Sen has been scarifying his own soul for the benefit of nation and his beloved citizens. To pay our thanks and grateful respected to the virtue of the Buddhist trinity and the wealth of power of Preah Vihear, our Royal predecessor who has constructed Preah Vihear and especially His Royal Highness the King of the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia the of father of nation patrimony, making his endless efforts to bring back the Preah Vihear from the Royal Thai Government. On the 5th January 2002 marking the 39th anniversary of raising Cambodian flag ceremony, I, myself, On behalf of Samdech Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Royal kingdom of Cambodia, His Excellency Major General Kun Kim, group leader of advisors to the Prime Minister, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Khmer Royal Armed force, His Excellency Major General Meas Sophea, Deputy-General of Staff of the Royal Government Armed Force and the Commander in Chief of infantry unit of the Royal Khmer Armed Force as well as both Phnom Penh municipality and the Royal Khmer Armed Force team had attended to Preah Vihear with warmest welcome from His Excellency Preap Tan, the Governor of Preah Vihear province and his associated. On my short visiting to Preah Vihear with our delegations, we have seen the real impact of Preah Vihear being destroyed due to time frames and prolong wars etc.. If our present generation do not develop Preah Vihear region and its surrounding along the border lines, the living condition of our people here will never be prospered and always under the influence of foreign politic, economic, culture, education and other public services as well as Independent-ship, sovereignty and territorial integrity will never be respected or implemented. His Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, distinguished guess! By visiting this place, we really wanted to see, 123 families with total 389 members living here to be brothers and sisters of Phnom Penh people. I also wanted them to have better standard of living such as: foods, sanitations, housing with electrical power, water treatment plant, medical and health facilities, education facilities, teachers with high qualification, temple, and good environment. With basic infrastructure and education such as: road, TV station, radio station, newspaper and telecommunication are in place, will provide the young with well-educated and physical fitness. Then, the young can use his/her knowledge and abilities to communicate with foreigners and outsiders and turn Preah Vihear to the attracting tourist zone and market place. If we can reach our achievements, this place will change to both national and international tourism area. We want Preah Vihear`s people to live in harmony, peace, united, friendship good and long term cooperation with our neighboring countries. For this reason my colleagues and I with the agreement from His Excellency the Governor of Preah Vihear and his team has decided to tie up our relationship to develop this region by commencing to build old rural road of 113 Km. from Tbeng Mean Chey to Preah Vihear. And today, the people of Rolous commune and other communes in Siem Riep province are also celebrating with the official inauguration of road no 6 (17.5 Km.), preside over by Samdech Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
