Chea Vandeth, Minister of Post and Telecommunications, has called on the Kingdom’s graduates to become ethical leaders and innovators in the rapidly evolving era of artificial intelligence, warning that the country’s future depends not only on adopting technology quickly, but using it responsibly.. Speaking at the 10th graduation ceremony of American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP), held today, May 9, at Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel, the minister noted that Cambodia is entering a transformative period
driven by digital systems, artificial intelligence and data-based governance.. “These forces are not simply changing industries.. They are reshaping how governments operate, how economies compete and how societies function,” he said.. Vandeth linked the role of universities to Cambodia’s broader development agenda, describing technology as a national priority and a key driver of future economic competitiveness.. “Technology is not a single sector.. Rather, it is an enabler of all sectors,” he said.. The minister explained
that higher education institutions must increasingly serve as centres for innovation, human capital development and digital capability as Cambodia adapts to rapid technological change.. “You are entering not just a job market, but a digital ecosystem,” he told graduates.. “Your role is not only to participate in this ecosystem, but to lead within it,” he added.. His remarks come as Cambodia continues to push digital transformation initiatives across government institutions, education and the private sector
amid growing regional competition in technology and innovation.. Artificial intelligence and automation are becoming increasingly prominent in policy discussions across Southeast Asia as governments seek to expand digital economies while addressing concerns surrounding ethics, governance and workforce adaptation.. During the ceremony, Vandeth highlighted Cambodian youth as central to the country’s future development.. “Each of you are future pillars of Cambodia,” he said, noting that Cambodian graduates were increasingly gaining recognition both domestically and internationally.. He
called on graduates to remain connected to their national identity and social responsibilities as they pursue global opportunities.. “So, wherever you go, all of you, do not forget your origins, ethnicity, family, loved ones and especially our Cambodian nation,” he said.. The minister concluded his address by leaving graduates with what he described as three key messages: to remain adaptable amid constant technological change, to become contributors rather than passive users of technology and to
lead with integrity.. “Be ready for continuous change,” he said.. “The knowledge you have today is only the foundation.. Your ability to learn, adapt and evolve will define your future,” he added.. He also encouraged graduates to create solutions that generate broader social value.. “Do not only use technology, help build solutions that create real value for society,” he said.. Vandeth stressed that ethics and public trust would become increasingly important in the digital era..
“Lead with integrity.. Because in a digital world, trust is the most important currency,” he added.. He warned that Cambodia’s future would ultimately depend not on technology itself, but on the leadership and judgment of the people using it.. “Do not just adapt to the future, shape it with purpose,” he added.
