A bit of a British stereotypeβ¦but a tasty one. Dinner from our local chippy the night before heading back to Phnom Penh.
On Friday we hosted our annual bilateral political dialogue with the Cambodian Foreign Ministry at the FCDO. We discussed how to advance our relationship across its full breadth from trade & investment to defence & security to human rights & multilateral cooperation.
Picked up this book on holiday in Sri Lanka - so much great Sri Lankan fiction but this was a new author for me. And a super engaging and unusual horror story, with strong feminist and anti-colonial messages. Great work @AmandaJayatissa ππΌ

Delighted to host the 4th UK-Cambodia bilateral consultations in London to discuss strengthening π¬π§π°π co-operation on growth, security and sustainable development in the years ahead.
Great to gather together Cambodians studying at a range of UK universities for a conversation at De Montfort Universityβs London campus!
DMU Cambodia is an example of the growing ties between UK and Cambodia - which I know the students we met will develop even further.

I thank His Majesty King Charles III for the audience. It is important for me to have the opportunity to personally thank him for his unwavering support for Ukraine. We appreciate all the assistance provided by the United Kingdom.

Last week we had productive discussions with Minister of Commerce @c_nimul and Deputy PM Sun Chanthol to advance trade and investment ties between UK and Cambodia and deliver tangible economic benefits to the people of both countries.

Behind every scam is a human story. A family losing savings. A young person exploited. A life changed in an instant. During his visit to Cambodia, @RTHondavehanson highlighted how the UK, Cambodia & int'l partners are working together to tackle online fraud & keep people safe.

My fourth year of doing this great programme with @PlanCambodia - and once again blown away by the talent of young Cambodian women. Thank you Ambassador Sreylang!
A day of leadership, a step towards equality. Today, Ms Sreylang steps into Ambassador @DomWUKβs role, leading conversations with government, British businesses, women &youth leaders. Because women belong at every table where decisions are made.

Cambodia continues to lead the way @womenoffuture Award SE Asia! We have a record number of shortlisted candidates (14) & are piloting the Young Star Award.
Inspiring to spend time with this group twice this week - they are blazing a trail & showing strength of Cambodian women.
Earlier this week, I met an inspiring group of young women from different ethnic minority backgrounds. Although a happy pic, they briefed us on a tough subject: the impact of technology-facilitated GBV on their communities. We need to do more, as a society, to tackle this problem
Great to check out British architects @FosterPartnersβ latest creation - the VVIP terminal at Techo International Airport, Phnom Penh.
Set to welcome guests to the Francophonie summit in September, this stunning building also houses beautiful pieces of traditional Cambodian art.

The British Embassy is proud to support ADHOCβs new UK-funded project to protect civic space and strengthen human rights resilience in Cambodia. Over the next 3 years, the project will expand access to justice, support human rights defenders, and strengthen civil society. #UKKH
After the first Royal Navy visit to Ream Naval Base & visits by FCDO Minister for the Indo-Pacific, Baroness Winterton, and Home Office Minister, Lord Hanson, I did a Khmer language interview to explain what these 3 visits mean for UK-Cambodia relations.
