Cambodia in Southern Asia, following which both governments have agreed to

Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chenda Sophea.
“Despite the geographical distance, the two foreign ministers affirmed their
unwavering commitment to further activating the two countries functional
cooperation for the common benefit of their respective peoples,” a communique

The discussions then explored certain potential trading commodities, particularly
rice and cashew nuts, as well as collaboration in tourism and agriculture,

Minister Greene was said to have been impressed by Cambodia’s economic
growth, and he encouraged the Kingdom to consider Antigua and Barbuda as a
gateway into the Caribbean market, according to the release.

and Barbuda at a time mutually agreed to by both parties.
