The 7th National Ramadan Iftar Dinner of 2023 is an event attended by representatives from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. This includes delegates and diplomats from Indonesia, and Malaysia, as well as 6,100 Cambodian Muslims. After a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cambodian government was finally able to hold the event again at the Chroy Changvar International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Phnom Penh.
In a Facebook post, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen expressed his deepest gratitude to the Cambodian Muslims who have contributed to maintaining peace as well as national and religious harmony. “I would like to congratulate and wish good luck to the Cambodian Muslims in Cambodia and abroad, as well as Muslims around the world,” said the Cambodian Prime Minister.
Muslims around the world eat iftar dinner, also known as futoor, after sunset to break their fast during the month of Ramadan. Iftar is said to bring blessings, especially for those that make arrangements for Iftar for others. Ramadan occurs during the month in which Muslims believe the Quran began to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. This holy month is a period of fasting for Muslim communities, as well as reflection and self-restraint, to purify their souls and recenter their faith.
