EAMU Celebrates Cambodia's 73rd Independence Day

On 9 November 2026, the East Asia Management University (EAMU) community gathered on campus to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of Cambodia's Independence Day. Students, faculty members and university leaders filled the hall to honour the nation's freedom, history and heritage, and to reflect on what it means to be Cambodian today.

The ceremony opened with everyone standing together for the national anthem, followed by a screening of historical footage of Cambodia's path to independence in 1953. Faculty members then spoke about the Leadership of King Norodom Sihanouk, the Father of Independence, and the courage and determination that secured the Kingdom's sovereignty. These moments gave the audience a vivid sense of the history behind the celebration.

Students were at the heart of the programme. In heartfelt speeches, student representatives shared what independence means to their generation. They spoke about gratitude for the sacrifices of the past and about young Cambodians' responsibility to carry the nation forward through education, integrity and hard work. Their words were warmly received and reminded everyone present that the future of Cambodia rests in the hands of its youth.

The celebration ended with a group photo of the EAMU family on the steps of the university, with Cambodian flags flying proudly. The day was a powerful reminder of the unity, pride and love for Cambodia that bind the university community together, and of EAMU's commitment to developing graduates who will help build a brighter future for the nation.

Happy Cambodian Independence Day! 🇰🇭
