National anthem of Kampuchea

The national anthem of the People's Republic of Kampuchea was the anthem of the People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979–1989). It was composed by Sok Udom Deth. While Vietnam and most Communist governments recognized the new government, the exiled Khmer Rouge, together with the monarchists, formed a government-in-exile that continued to use the former anthem of the Khmer Rouge government. It was this government-in-exile that was recognized by most Western governments and the United Nations; as such, many Western sources continued to list Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey as the Cambodian national anthem until the return of the monarchy in 1993.
