There’s nothing like a few days in Mondulkiri’s Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary to restore faith and remind why conservation is so important. The yellow-cheeked crested gibbon, black-shanked douc, and other amazing but critically endangered primates and creatures are found here.

Hello, beautiful Mondulkiri! It’s just wonderful to see you again.

U.S. embassies around the world have no higher priority than the welfare of our citizens abroad. I made another visit to detained activist Seng Theary today and continue to urge her release - and that of all others imprisoned in Cambodia for exercising their political rights.

Behind the scenes supporting our great Peace Corps education volunteers across Cambodia is a fantastic, dedicated Peace Corps Cambodia staff! I stopped by today to express appreciation for their dedication and contributions to understanding between our two countries.

We had an amazing night hosting our annual @USAYCKh Induction & Graduation ceremonies. A big congrats to Cohort 10 for completing a successful two-year program, and welcome Cohort 12 members to the Ambassador’s Youth Council family!

Lowell, Massachusetts has one of the largest populations of Cambodian-Americans in the United States. I was pleased to welcome a delegation of Lowell friends focused on sports as a great way to build people-to-people ties.

I joined the Cambodia-ASEAN Business Summit 2024, which in invited investment in the region, including thru digital transformation. U.S. Embassy Cambodia supports such possibilities through the Japan-U.S. Mekong Power Partnership (JUMPP) and USAID Smart Power programs.

I attended the Senate opening ceremony, presided over by HM King Sihamoni who spoke of the body’s requirement to support principles enshrined in the constitution. The U.S. supports the Cambodian people’s aspirations for free & inclusive participation in their democratic system.

I met with DPM Say Sam Al, Minister of Land Management, for a deep discussion on complicated land, construction, and urban issues—and how the U.S. and Cambodia can work together to ensure fair & sustainable development.
