PHNOM PENH, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday made oath that he would join the next general election in 2013, once again as premier candidate of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP).

"In 2013, I will be only 61 years old and still firm," he told the graduation ceremony of a university.

"Even now, I have already become the longest ruling prime minister in Asia and made historical record," he added.

Hun Sen has been premier of Cambodia since 1985.

His CPP just won 90 out of the 123 seats of the National Assembly in this year's general election on July 27.

The current government has been the fourth one since the kingdom ended its civil war at the end of last century.
