Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen Thursday urged his military men at all levels, especially the leaders and commanders of the army, to focus on human resource development.

"We are aware that in early 21st century, technology has promoted infrastructure development at all sectors for humanity. However, compared to regional countries, Cambodia still has a big gap of human resource shortage that needs to be addressed," he said at the closing of the stocktaking workshop on the 5-Year Military Reform (2005-2009) and 5-Year Direction Setting (2010- 2014).

"Therefore, the Ministry of Defense and Commander-in-chief should continue to carry out 5-year armed forces reform by focusing on human resource development and promoting their capacity, so that our armed forces could stand equally with others in the region and in other developed countries," he said.

He said Cambodia has experienced many difficulties and enormous sacrifice, but has also successfully implemented "win-win policy" that brings to people and country peace, national conciliation, certain and full national unity.

While urging a continued strengthening on real human resources within the armed forces leadership, he also called for research studies to enhance the defense knowledge and other skills such as information technology as well as strengthening the international cooperation on military sector in both regional and global framework, aiming to develop and modernize the defense sector of Cambodia to be more competent and consistent with evolving situation and development of the nation and the world.

In his speech, Hun Sen also warned his military men to perform good deeds for the sake of the nation and the people.
