Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year: A Catalyst for Fostering Cultural Diplomacy

The Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year, officially commenced in January 2024, marks a significant milestone in the cultural diplomacy between Cambodia and China. The event was launched with a grand ceremony at the Terrace of the Elephants in the UNESCO-listed Angkor Archaeological Park, reflecting the historical significance and cultural heritage of the partnership.

In 2023, Cambodia and China elevated their bilateral relations to new height under the framework “Diamond Hexagon Cooperation” that is centered on six priority areas, including people-to-people exchanges.

In a message celebrating the 2024 Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said that, “I’m optimistic that the 2024 Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year will provide a new great opportunity to attract more Chinese tourists and investors to Cambodia, and the bonds of solidarity, friendship and diamond cooperation between our two countries and peoples will be even stronger”.
