Tempo (The Philippines)
The Kingdom of Cambodia celebrates its National Day today. On this day in 1953, King Norodom Sihanouk declared the country’s independence from French colonial rule.
As a close neighbor and fellow Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member, the Philippines, together with the international community, participated in the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) to help Cambodia achieve self-sustaining governance after decades of conflict. The Philippines continues to send agricultural experts to Cambodia to assist in its development under the Rural Development and Resettlement Project (RD&RP).
Since the reopening of the Cambodian Embassy in Manila in 1999 and the Philippine Embassy in Phnom Penh in 1995, the Philippines and Cambodia have enjoyed good bilateral relationships based on friendship and cooperation. They have concluded agreements on economic and trade relations, agricultural and agribusiness collaboration, and tourism cooperation.
Last year, the Cambodian Ministry of Labor entered into a labor pact with the Department of Labor and Employment, to ensure that workers from both countries are protected from abuse and substandard labor conditions. Preparations for the forging of a "Twin City" agreement between Bacolod City and Siem Reap City were also held last year. Cambodia’s full support for the candidature of the Philippines for membership in the United Nations Human Rights Council was acknowledged by the Philippine government.
We congratulate the people and government of Cambodia headed by His Majesty, King Norodom Sihamoni, and Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen, and its Embassy in the Philippines, led by H.E., Ambassador In May, on the occasion of their National Day.
