Exiled Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy has urged Japan to aid democracy in Cambodia, criticizing the country's current leadership as a dictatorship.

In a recent interview, Rainsy specifically criticized former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and his family for establishing a dictatorship.

Hun Sen, who is 74 years old, has been a dominant figure in Cambodian politics.

## Why it matters The call for Japan's aid in promoting democracy in Cambodia comes as the country's political landscape continues to be shaped by the leadership of Hun Sen and his family. The international community, including Japan, has a significant role to play in promoting democratic values and human rights in Cambodia.

The situation in Cambodia has significant implications for the country's citizens, who are affected by the political developments in their nation. The international community's response to the situation will be closely watched, as it may impact the future of democracy in Cambodia.
