(Tokyo): Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet affirmed that cooperation between Cambodia and Japan in the field of national defence has become increasingly active and close, speaking in a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru in Tokyo, Japan, on 30 May 2025.

“In the field of national defence, our cooperation is becoming more dynamic and closer,” Prime Minister Hun Manet stated. “Cambodia is pleased to have welcomed two vessels from the Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force, which were the first to dock following the official inauguration of the port in April.”

On the occasion, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet also expressed gratitude to Japan for its continued support in strengthening Cambodia’s capabilities and developing human resources in this important sector.
