Cambodia Seeks Continued U.S. Support for Capacity Building

Deputy Prime Minister Requests Assistance from Outgoing U.S. Ambassador
In a recent meeting at the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) headquarters, Deputy Prime Minister SUN Chanthol expressed Cambodia's desire for ongoing support from the United States in capacity building efforts. The request was made during a farewell meeting with outgoing U.S. Ambassador W. Patrick Murphy, highlighting the importance of bilateral cooperation in fostering Cambodia's development.

Deputy Prime Minister SUN Chanthol commended Ambassador Murphy for his contributions to strengthening Cambodia-U.S. relations and fostering youth development initiatives. With plans to engage American investors during an upcoming visit to the U.S., Cambodia seeks to further enhance economic cooperation and attract investment opportunities.

Ambassador Murphy acknowledged the strong foundation of Cambodia-U.S. relations, emphasizing the role of initiatives like the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in capacity building efforts. These efforts are aligned with Cambodia's ambitious development goals, including achieving upper middle-income status by 2030 and high-income status by 2050.

The meeting also highlighted Cambodia's successful hosting of the ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in 2022, along with the visit of U.S. President Joe Biden. These events underscored Cambodia's growing prominence on the international stage and further strengthened ties between the two nations.

As Cambodia looks towards the future, continued support from the United States will play a vital role in driving sustainable development and prosperity for the Cambodian people.
