PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – February 4, 2026 – Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate of Cambodia and President of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), recently held a significant meeting in Phnom Penh with Cambodian youth activists residing in several states along the west coast of the United States.
This courtesy call highlights the Cambodian leadership’s proactive efforts to engage with its citizens living abroad, particularly those actively involved in political and social spheres. Such interactions are crucial for fostering unity and understanding between the homeland and its extensive global diaspora.
Strengthening Cambodian Diaspora Engagement
The meeting provided a valuable platform for direct dialogue between Samdech Techo Hun Sen and the young Cambodian activists. These individuals, representing various states on the US west coast, are dedicated to promoting the Cambodian People’s Party’s vision and agenda within their communities overseas.
Engagements of this nature underscore the importance placed on maintaining strong connections with Cambodians living overseas. The Cambodian diaspora plays a vital role in the country’s ongoing development through remittances, investment, cultural exchange, and political advocacy.
Fostering Bilateral Understanding and Support
These regular dialogues between high-ranking Cambodian officials and diaspora communities serve to reinforce political ties and garner support for national development initiatives within the Kingdom of Cambodia.

This outreach contributes significantly to the broader political landscape and international relations of Cambodia.
