On August 29, 2024, an important inter-ministerial meeting took place under the leadership of His Excellency LIM Bunhok, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia. The meeting convened representatives from various Cambodian ministries and institutions with the primary agenda of discussing and preparing for the upcoming 2nd Cambodia-France Bilateral Political Consultation scheduled for October in France. This gathering is pivotal as it aims to fortify the diplomatic and cooperative ties between Cambodia and France in various sectors.


Focus of the Inter-Ministerial Meeting

The meeting chaired by His Excellency LIM Bunhok was strategic, focusing on facilitating a comprehensive dialogue on the collaborative initiatives between the two countries. The aim was to ensure that all participating ministries and institutions were aligned with the national objectives for strengthening partnerships with France. Discussions were highly focused on detailing the specific areas of cooperation that could use enhanced engagement during the bilateral talks.


Key Areas of Cooperation

Several key areas were targeted for deeper cooperation, including economic development, cultural exchange, educational partnerships, and technological support. Cambodia, with its developing economy, is looking to leverage French expertise in technology and infrastructure development, aiming for advancements that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Additionally, the promotion of cultural exchanges is seen as crucial for enhancing mutual understanding and respect, fostering deeper people-to-people connections between the two nations.


Economic and Educational Synergies

Economic development was a major theme, with talks aimed at identifying potential French investment in Cambodia’s key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. Educational collaboration was also on the agenda, with initiatives to increase scholarships and academic exchanges that could benefit Cambodian students and researchers. Such educational exchanges could also expand to include vocational training programs that align with Cambodia’s workforce needs, contributing to the nation’s human resource development.

Cultural and Technological Collaboration

Cultural cooperation includes plans to organize more cultural festivals and events that showcase each country’s heritage, promoting tourism and deep understanding of each nation’s traditions and societal values. Technologically, Cambodia seeks support from France in areas like digital transformation and smart city projects, which are crucial for Cambodia’s ambitions to enhance its urban infrastructure and efficiency.
Preparation for a Fruitful Dialogue in France

The preparations for the 2nd Bilateral Political Consultation are thorough, with the Cambodian team planning to present concrete proposals and requests for support that align with the nation’s development goals. The aim is to come out of the consultations with clear milestones and agreements that would pave the way for future cooperation.


Conclusion: Looking Towards a Collaborative Future

The inter-ministerial meeting reflects Cambodia’s proactive stance in international relations, particularly in strengthening ties with key global partners like France. By focusing on comprehensive preparation, Cambodia ensures that its strategic interests and developmental goals are well-represented and pursued vigorously.

The upcoming 2nd Cambodia-France Bilateral Political Consultation in October promises to be a landmark event, setting the stage for a renewed and robust partnership. Both nations stand to gain immensely from increased collaboration in multiple domains, paving the way for a future that promises growth, stability, and mutual benefit. As Cambodia and France continue to chart this shared journey, the emphasis is firmly on laying a foundation that will support sustained and inclusive development.
