Hun Manet (Khmer: ហ៊ុន ម៉ាណែត, Hŭn Manêt [hun maːnaet]; born 20 October 1977) is a Cambodian politician and military officer who has been serving as the prime minister of Cambodia since 2023, succeeding his father, Hun Sen.[1] He is also the vice president of the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP). Prior to his political appointment, he served in the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces as deputy commander-in-chief and the commander of the Royal Cambodian Army. Upon appointment as prime minister, he was granted the highest civilian honorary title of Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet (Khmer: សម្តេចមហាបវរធិបតី;[a] meaning "Great Lord and Supreme Leader Hun Manet").[2]
Manet grew up and received his general education in Phnom Penh and later joined the armed forces in 1995, the same year, he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point. After receiving his diploma in 1999, Manet became the first Cambodian to graduate from the academy.[3]
Following the 2023 Cambodian general election, Hun Sen announced his resignation as prime minister on 26 July, officially making Manet the prime minister-designate.[4] Following the King's nomination, he and his cabinet were approved by the National Assembly unanimously and were formally sworn into office on 22 August 2023.
