President Moon Jae-in held a meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Friday and discussed ways to enhance exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, including a bilateral free trade agreement.
During the meeting, Moon described Cambodia as a major partner for South Korea’s economic strategy of reducing its reliance on China, noting that relations between the two countries “have dynamically developed in various fields.”
Moon also said that South Korea’s free trade deal with Cambodia, signed in October last year, was “meaningful” because it was South Korea’s first free trade pact with a Southeast Asian nation along the Mekong River.
