PHNOM PENH, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) held its central committee's annual congress at its headquarters here on Saturday to set forth an action plan for 2025, said the party's honorary president Samdech Heng Samrin.
Speaking in his opening speech of the 45th CPP's central committee congress in the fifth mandate, Samrin said the two-day congress would review the party's achievements made last year and lay out the direction of tasks for this year.
"During the congress, the party's central committee will elect additional members for the party's standing committee," he said.
The congress, chaired by CPP President Samdech Techo Hun Sen, who is also the Senate's president, was attended by approximately 3,555 central and local delegates from across the country.
The CPP has ruled the Southeast Asian country since 1979, and its current standing committee comprises 58 members while its central committee consists of 1,312 members.
In the general election in July 2023, the CPP won 120 of the 125 seats in the National Assembly, or the lower house. ■
