The Cambodian Youth Party (CYP; Khmer: គណបក្សយុវជនកម្ពុជា)[2] is a pro-government party created by Pich Sros. It is known for being one of the parties that called for the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) to dissolve after allegedly conspiring to overthrow the current government.[3][4] The party is also one of the twenty parties involved in the Consultation Forum created by current Prime Minister Hun Sen.[5] During its time as part of the forum, the CYP has also managed to conserve the Boeung Prek Toap lake.[6]
