2024 Cambodia National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my best wishes to the people of Cambodia as you honor the 71st anniversary of your Independence Day.

The United States looks forward to continuing our partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia to advance a shared vision of a free, open, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific region. We have witnessed several positive milestones in our relations this past year, including the first-ever bilateral official visits by a U.S. Secretary of Defense and USAID Administrator, the first-ever U.S.-Cambodia Public-Private Sector Dialogue, and resumption of our bilateral Defense Policy Dialogue. In the year ahead, we will celebrate the 75th anniversary of U.S.-Cambodia relations, a testament to the strong bonds between our governments and people. To commemorate this important milestone, we look forward to deepening our ties through Cambodia's role as U.S.-ASEAN Country Coordinator, economic engagement, global health and educational exchanges, law enforcement cooperation, and preservation of Cambodia's cultural heritage. Further, the United States values our continued cooperation with Cambodia on key regional and global issues.

We send our sincere congratulations to the Cambodian people on the Kingdom's Independence Day.
