Press release on Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s meetings with Prime Minister of Cambodia Hun Sen and Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn
On August 4-5, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had meetings with Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia Hun Sen and Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn during his visit to Phnom Penh for ASEAN ministerial events.
Sergey Lavrov and Hun Sen discussed the current state and development plans for bilateral cooperation in politics, trade, the economy, investment, science and technology, as well as culture and education. They held an in-depth exchange of views on the key regional and global issues and reaffirmed their commitment to promoting multipolarity and a truly universal architecture of equal security and cooperation for development, rather than confrontation and the division of the world along ideological lines.
Speaking in the context of Cambodia’s Chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its role as ASEAN Country Coordinator for ASEAN-Russia Dialogue Relations, the sides emphasised their mutual resolve to make the best possible use of the potential of Russia’s cooperation with the 10 ASEAN nations based on trust, equality and mutual benefit.
Sergey Lavrov and Prak Sokhonn discussed plans to build up Russia-Cambodia ties in practical areas of mutual interest ahead of a regular meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation, which is scheduled to take place later this year. They also mapped out spheres for closer coordination of relations within the framework of the UN and other international organisations and forums, above all those that are focused on ASEAN.
Following the talks, the ministers adopted a joint statement and signed a plan of consultations between the Foreign Ministry of Russia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia for 2022-2024.
During the visit, 500 Russian-made monkeypox testing kits have been handed over to Cambodia as part of humanitarian aid.
