H.E.

Over the past three mandates, the International Kun Khmer Federation has expanded its membership to approximately 65 countries worldwide, and currently, the Federation’s leader is urging and gathering other countries in the world to join as additional members, especially to achieve the goal of more than 75 countries so that Cambodia can propose to include Kun Khmer into the Olympic-level competitions in the future.
