PHNOM PENH, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's National Assembly on Tuesday confirmed Hun Manet as the new prime minister for a five-year term after his ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won a landslide victory in the July 23 general election, according to the state-run TVK.
Some 123 lawmakers in attendance unanimously voted for him as the new prime minister.
The National Assembly also approved Hun Manet's new cabinet members for the 2023-2028 term.
Hun Manet, 45, succeeded his 71-year-old father Samdech Techo Hun Sen, who stepped down after having held the position for more than 38 years. ■
