Japan has reaffirmed its commitment to Cambodia's environmental sustainability efforts by providing ten additional garbage collection trucks. The agreement, signed on December 23, 2024, between Cambodia's Ministry of Environment and the Embassy of Japan, underscores ongoing cooperation in waste management and urban cleanliness initiatives.

The Japanese trucks, sourced from Osaka City, are specifically designed to navigate narrow streets while efficiently collecting and transporting waste. This contribution follows Japan's previous donation of 20 garbage trucks, which have already improved waste collection in targeted cities and districts.

Cambodian Minister of Environment Dr. Eang Sophallet emphasized that the partnership represents a crucial step toward strengthening waste management infrastructure. He also highlighted the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to implement a nationwide cleaning strategy, focusing on key national roads and urban areas to ensure cleaner cities by 2025.

The collaboration reflects both nations' shared commitment to environmental sustainability, with Japan playing a pivotal role in enhancing Cambodia’s waste management capabilities.
