Phnom Penh (VNA) - The Cambodian National Assembly has amended two articles of the country’s Constitution to specify division pattern of administrative areas to facilitate better political participation of the civilians.

The amendment, passed by a 80-107 vote on January 15, will help improve and increase democracy, Cambodian Prime Minister told reporters after the vote.

However, the FUNCINPEC and the Sam Rainsy Party did not support the amendment, saying it would only benefit the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

The Cambodian territory is divided as capital city, special city, province, district and commune.
