In his address, Samdech Men Sam An expressed sympathy for those displaced from their homes and livelihoods due to what he described as "encroachment and invasion over the past 21 days." He encouraged the people to remain united and to continue trusting in the leadership of the Royal Government under Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate, and Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister, to defend territorial integrity and ensure peace and sustainable development.

She also extended gratitude to the nation’s soldiers for their sacrifices and to the people for their resilience and support.

Samdech Men Sam An commended H.E. Sok Soken and the working groups for their effective on-the-ground coordination and for mobilising the resources for the donation ceremony.
