The six priorities include expanding healthcare services, providing vocational and technical training for youth from impoverished and vulnerable households, institutionalizing national social assistance programs for vulnerable households in cases of economic crises and emergencies, and accelerating the Informal Economy Development Strategy to enable informal workers to participate in the formal economy and benefit from the social protection systems. 

For the fifth priority, Manet explained that the government will introduce mechanisms and financing programs to enhance the production, market access and price stability of agricultural products. Finally, agricultural technical officers will also be deployed to each of the communes and districts across the country to form farmers’ associations in rural areas.

Mr. Hun Manet also vowed to lead the government to successfully implement the political goals which the Cambodia People’s Party committed to the people.
