Government of Cambodia Sets Annual Date for National Clean City Day

PHNOM PENH – The Prime Minister of Cambodia has made an announcement in a letter to mark the 6th Anniversary of National Clean City Day.

The Government of Cambodia has set February 27 as an annual National Clean City Day.

According to the PM, “starting from this year, the government has decided to annually celebrate National Clean City Day on February 27 to remind citizens and stakeholders to help keep our cities clean”.

The theme for this year is “clean cities for all”.

“In order to support the push to make urban areas more attractive and environmentally friendly, competitions would be held for the cleanest city,” said PM.

In this late-January, three cities of Cambodia – Battambang, Kep and Siem Reap – received the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Award at the ASEAN Tourism Forum 2018, which was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, said the government and all Cambodian citizens must commit to participate with the whole world in order to achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, according to local reports.

“I want to appeal to all stakeholders, especially ministries, institutes, all levels of authorities, armed forces, the private sector, civil society, development partners and the public to continue to support and compete for clean cities in order to attract more national and international tourists”.

Respect yourself. Respect others. Respect your environment. Keep our cities clean.
