(Phnom Penh): His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister Say Samal, Minister of the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, said that the Social Land Concession Committee met to discuss and develop a vision for the distribution of social land concessions to be more comprehensive and benefit more citizens, in line with the policies of the Royal Government of Cambodia.

His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister spoke at a meeting under the Social Land Concession Committee, led by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, on the afternoon of February 1, 2024.

The Social Land Concession Committee not only has the role of distributing social land concessions to the poor and landless, indigenous peoples, and veterans, but also has the role and responsibility to transform Cambodia’s rural areas into rural Borei.

His Excellency Say Samal said that we should transform the functions of the Social Land Concession Committee in line with the Pentagon Strategy Phase 1 and in line with the socio-economic and cultural developments of Cambodia.

The 7th Royal Government has a vision to ensure that all Cambodians across the country have access to clean water and sufficient electricity, which is a source of great pride for the Cambodian people and for the world.

Through this meeting, HE Deputy Prime Minister Say Samal hopes that the policies of the Royal Government and the efforts made in the past will contribute to transforming Cambodia into an upper-middle-income country by 2030.
