The First cabinet of Norodom Sihanouk was the first Council of Ministers formed in the history of Cambodia. It was led by Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia at the time.
After Japan overthrew the French rule in Indochina, King Norodom Sihanouk proclaimed an independent Cambodian state and sworn in the ministers. Until Sơn Ngọc Thành joined the cabinet, all ministers were, according to Sihanouk, "best-known for their pro-French zeal".[1]
