The Cambodian people in general benefit from
the “culture of dialogue” between Samdech Techo Hun Sen, the leader of the
Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) and Prime Minister of the Royal Government of
Cambodia on one side and on the other side, Mr. Sam Rainsy, the leader of the
Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), and the minority leader at the National
Assembly. Being the head of their respective political party, the duo is equal
in status. Taking into consideration their respective position in the powers of
the government one compliments the other, without being overshadowed by the
other. Constitutional and legal scholars who have luckily found their heavenly
comfort inside their ivory tower have remained silent weeks and probably months
and probably years. Only Cambodian political analysts have sorted out this
model of the Cambodian “culture of dialogue,” pointing as usual to the positive
and negative sides of the case. Yet the main actors are optimistic and vowed to
uphold the new culture.
Samdech Techo Hun Sen associated the “culture
of dialogue” to his win-win strategy, “unique in the whole wide world,” as
Samdech Techo has stated and he is very confident that the “culture of
dialogue,” as the way he understands it, will be another success of his era. Mr.
Sam Rainsy, on the other hand, stated publicly to his followers that he will uphold
the “culture of dialogue,” the way he understands it, as a mean of solving
current social issues. Samdech Techo casts a political wide net, while Mr. Sam
Rainsy focuses on social issues.
The Hun Sen-Sam Rainsy Culture of Dialogue
(HSRCD), even though unknown to the public in general as on which basis it was
built, will manifest itself into words and actions revealing to the eyes of the
public who is doing what. That is how the public benefit from the HSRCD.
