AKP Phnom Penh, August 26, 2025 --

Cambodia and Mongolia have discussed ways to promote bilateral relations and cooperation in some key areas, particularly tourism. 

During their meeting on the sidelines of the 10th Foreign Ministers’ Meeting of the Forum for East Asia-Latin America Cooperation (10th FEALAC FMM) held last week in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, H.E. Chum Sounry, Secretary of State at the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MFAIC), and H.E. Ms. Battsetseg Batmunkh, Mongolian Minister of Foreign Affairs, discussed boosting tourism, including promoting Buddhist visitors to Cambodia and explored opportunities for broader ASEAN cooperation.

Both sides also shared views to convene the 2nd Bilateral Consultation between their Ministries of Foreign Affairs in Mongolia next year and to hold it regularly every two years. 

H.E. Chum Sounry commended Mongolia for successfully hosting the 10th FEALAC FMM with the Dominican Republic, resulting in the adoption of the Ulaanbaatar Declaration, which charts a vision for stronger interregional partnership and cooperation. 

He reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to expanding cooperation in trade, investment, education, tourism, and political dialogue. 

For her part, H.E. Ms. Battsetseg Batmunkh extended warm regards to H.E. Prak Sokhonn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of MFAIC, hoping for a possible meeting between the two Foreign Ministers at the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.
