Sudary, 70, currently is the second vice-president of the National Assembly and a member of the Standing Committee of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP).
"Khuon Sudary will become the president of the National Assembly in the new term, which is a practice to enhance the role of women," the prime minister said in a voice message released publicly.
He added that Cheam Yeap, the current first vice-president, will retain his position in the new term, and Vong Sauth, current minister of social affairs, veterans and youth rehabilitation, will assume the second vice-president of this legislative body.
The announcement came after the ruling CPP led by the prime minister won a landslide victory in the July 23 general election, gaining 120 out of 125 seats in the National Assembly.
The prime minister said the new-term National Assembly and government will be formed on Aug. 21 and Aug. 22, respectively. - Xinhua
