Bâtchamrieng ney Sathéaranakrâth Pracheameanit Kâmpŭchéa
The "Anthem of the People's Republic of Kampuchea" (Khmer: ចម្រៀងនៃសាធារណរដ្ឋប្រជាមានិតកម្ពុជា, Bâtchamrieng ney Sathéaranakrâth Pracheameanit Kâmpŭchéa) was the national anthem of the People's Republic of Kampuchea from 1979 to 1989. It was composed by Sok Udom Deth. While Vietnam and most Communist governments recognized the People's Republic of Kampuchea during its existence, the Khmer Rouge, together with the monarchists and Khmer People's National Liberation Front, formed the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea that continued to use the anthem of Democratic Kampuchea. It was this government-in-exile that was recognized by China, North Korea, and most Western Bloc governments and the United Nations; as such, many Western sources continued to list "Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey" as being the Cambodian national anthem until the restoration of the monarchy in 1993.[1]
