PHNOM PENH, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian National Assembly here on Tuesday amended two articles of the Constitution to specify division pattern of administrative areas to facilitate better political participation of the civilians.
The Cambodian territory is divided as capital city, special city, province, district, khan, commune and sangkat, according to the revision.
"We hope that the amendment of the two articles will provide easy way for reform of administrative management at grass-root level and better practice of decentralization to advance democracy and public services with effectiveness and sustainability," Prime Minister Hun Sen told reporters at the National Assembly.
The amendments are a must for implementing progress of politics, administration, society and economy of the country in the future, he added.
Cambodia used to have a four-level system of administrative division, which might lead to statistics confusion and difficulties when there were election and census.
Currently, Cambodia has 20 provinces and four special cities which are directly governed by the central government.
