Acknowledging the enormous success of the 2011 WOVD Cambodia Volleyball World Cup and the outstanding efforts of the Cambodian National Volleyball team in reaching the No 2 position, CNVLD Secretary-General, Christopher Minko, is very pleased to announce the CNVLD Manifesto: 2012-2015.

The CNVLD Manifesto 2012-2015

The Core Objectives

Localisation by 2015

To achieve localization of the CNVLD into mainstream Cambodian frameworks within disability sports structures

Including appointment of Cambodian National Secretary-General

No 1 in the World

Now ranked No 2 in the World, the Cambodian National Volleyball team will continue until it reaches the No 1 position

Establish Cambodia as the ASEAN Center for Disability Sports

Cambodia is the logical home for an ASEAN Center for Disability Sports Development with its, now internationally recognized programs, for disability sports development along with having the highest ratio of disabled persons in the world per head of population due to the landmine and past civil conflict.

To facilitate programs of Sports and Cultural Exchange between Cambodia and Thailand

To promote goodwill and foster positive relations between the nations of Cambodia and Thailand

i.e.: Water Festival / Wheelchair races / Volleyball competitions and other
