Chea Xim, the president of the Senate, received another PhD for his leadership in the Senate work from The Open Seminary University in California on 13 Sept 2010 at the Senate building. Mrs. Pheng Kantheaborey, Chea Xim’s protocol chief, quoted Dr. Alfonso Cleto of the Open Seminary as saying that the university awarded the PhD to Chea Xim because it found out that Chea Xim’s biography clearly showed his talent and experience in leadership in the past. Alfonso Cleto indicated that The Open Seminary only grants PhD through a selection among high-ranking VIPs in each country, therefore Chea Xim was granted this PhD because he is a special VIP of Cambodia among other high-ranking VIPs in Asia and other regions in the world.
