Significance

Cambodia is now effectively a one-party authoritarian state. Despite a poor health system, it has seemingly managed to contain its COVID-19 outbreak.

Impacts

Hun Manet will try to burnish his credentials domestically and internationally.
Phnom Penh will rely on regional partners to provide much-needed debt relief and markets for export.
The soon-to-be-signed free trade agreement with China is unlikely to offset losses from the withdrawal of EU trade privileges.
