Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen this morning encouraged the United Kingdom to continue working with the new Royal Government of Cambodia to further boost trade between the two countries.

The President of the Senate of Cambodia made the encouragement while receiving a courtesy call from H.E. Dominic Williams, British Ambassador to Cambodia, at the Senate Palace in Phnom Penh.

The British diplomat highlighted the development of relations between the two countries, especially the opening of a British University in Phnom Penh in September 2023, the signing between the UK and the Cambodian Ministry of Economy and Finance to develop green infrastructure projects, the defence cooperation, and the docking of British ships at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port in Preah Sihanouk province.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen said he was pleased that the UK had achieved his goal of opening a British university in Cambodia. Another notable thing, he continued, is the establishment of a green industrial park invested by the UK,
in addition to those invested by Korea and Japan.

The senate president requested the British side to assist Cambodia in the inspection issue by providing modern technology to manage human resources as well as negative acts.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen and the British ambassador also exchanged views on the situation in Myanmar, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the situation in the Middle East and the South China Sea issue.

The former Cambodian Prime Minister expressed his concern about the rich Indo-Pacific strategies, including those of Japan, Australia, the United States, the European Union, Canada, India and South Korea. Anyway, he reaffirmed Cambodia’s firm stance that all Indo-Pacific strategies must serve peace and development, not against any country, and must respect the ASEAN Centrality.
