Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea

The Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea (CGDK; Khmer: រដ្ឋាភិបាលចំរុះកម្ពុជាប្រជាធិបតេយ្យ, Rôdthaphĭbál Châmrŏh Kâmpŭchéa Prâchéathĭbâtéyy), renamed in 1990 to the National Government of Cambodia (NGC; រដ្ឋាភិបាលជាតិនៃកម្ពុជា, Rôdthaphĭbál Chéatĕ Ney Kâmpŭchéa), was a coalition government in exile composed of three Cambodian political factions, namely Prince Norodom Sihanouk's FUNCINPEC party, the Party of Democratic Kampuchea (PDK; often referred to as the Khmer Rouge) and the Khmer People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF) formed in 1982, broadening the deposed Democratic Kampuchea led by the Khmer Rouge. For most of its existence, it was the UN-recognized government of Cambodia, despite being a government-in-exile. The de facto government at Phnom Penh continued to be the Vietnamese-backed People's Republic of Kampuchea.
