Hun Sen explains why his wife will be absent from upcoming Asean summit
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen issued an apology, saying his wife Bun Rany will not be receiving the spouses of Asean leaders at the summit next week.
In a social media post on Sunday morning, Hun said: “There have been a lot of doubts regarding the absence of my wife at major events lately and during the coming Asean Summit. My wife has health problems related to her spine and the doctor has instructed her not to sit for too long.
“I would like to apologise to the spouses of the heads of state and governments of all countries that will come to Cambodia in the coming days that my wife will be unable to welcome you as she is receiving medical treatment,” he said.
The Asean Summit and related meetings will begin on November 8 and continue until November 13 in Phnom Penh.
World leaders like US president Joe Biden, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and many others have confirmed their attendance at the annual diplomatic forum, which will bring them together with leaders from Asean member states.
