AKP Phnom Penh, July 05, 2025 -- 
Cambodia is ready to host the 20th Asian Media Summit (AMS) for a productive discussion and exchange of knowledge and experience to advance information diplomacy in the region. 
H.E. Neth Pheaktra reaffirmed the readiness after chairing a recent meeting among officials from various government agencies and local authorities to review the progress of the preparation for the international event. 
Scheduled to take place from July 21 to 24 in Siem Reap, the summit is expected to welcome around 700 media delegates, keynote speakers, and partners from approximately 50 countries. 
According to H.E. Neth Pheaktra, every country is dealing with the impacts of social media, misinformation, and AI’s growing influence on the media landscape. 
The summit provides a vital platform to enhance the framework of information diplomacy and promote international cooperation on shared challenges such as the fight against fake news and the rise of disinformation driven by artificial intelligence, he said. 
Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Information H.E. Pang Nath, who was tasked as Permanent Deputy Director of the Secretariat for the 20th AMS Summit, echoed Cambodia’s readiness to host the summit under the theme "Celebrating Two Decades of Excellence and Beyond". 
He added that the 20th AMS will be held in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Meeting and other related sessions, further strengthening multilateral dialogue on media issues. 
Cambodia previously hosted the 16th Asian Media Summit in Siem Reap in 2019, which attracted around 600 participants from 42 countries.
