On behalf of the United States of America, I wish all Cambodians in the Kingdom of Cambodia and around the world a Khmer New Year full of joy, prosperity, and good fortune.

Khmer New Year is a special time to celebrate the vibrance of Cambodian culture.  As we move ahead, the United States will continue to work with the Cambodian people to build a more prosperous, democratic, and independent country.  We are committed to strengthening the people-to-people ties that underpin the longstanding partnership between the United States and the Kingdom of Cambodia.

To all those in the Kingdom, as well as the Cambodian-American community in the United States:  Happy Khmer New Year.  May the year of the dragon bring happiness, good health, and opportunity to you and your families.
