He further encouraged everyone that whenever the NACAM annual session approaches, they should not schedule other appointments or engagements. Instead, they should give priority to this once-a-year gathering, valuing the opportunity to come together in fellowship, strengthen bonds, and express love and commitment toward NACAM.
Theophilus, the newly elected president, stated that NACAM remains open and supportive, encouraging any Nagas coming to Cambodia to reach out to its officials or members for assistance.
