Quality financial inclusion drives development & improve lives. Great to join HE Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, for the launch of her book on financial inclusion, much of it based on her PhD from Adelaide University. Proud moment for her, but also for 🇦🇺.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Today, on #RemembranceDay, we honour with gratitude those who have served in wars, conflicts and peace operations in the name of our nation 🇦🇺, and those who serve now.

Thanks to @ukincambodia & @FranceCambodge for hosting solemn remembrance ceremonies.

Happy 73rd Independence Day to the people of Cambodia.

Australia and Cambodia are longstanding partners. As we approach 75 years of diplomatic relations, we look forward to continuing to work together to support a peaceful, stable and prosperous region.

Happy 73rd Independence Day to our Cambodian friends! 🇰🇭

73: The number of years Cambodia has been proudly independent.

74: Years 🇦🇺 & 🇰🇭 have had diplomatic relations.

75: We look forward to marking our 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties next year!

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Joined close friends & allies at the @ukincambodia Remembrance Day ceremony. Remembering those who served, we’re also confronted by ongoing conflict. We must work for a region that safeguards sovereignty, upholds rules and institutions and is free from threats or coercion.

Australia continues to be a leading study destination for Cambodians. Great to see such a strong showing of Australian universities and education institutions at the IDP Global Education and Scholarships Fair in Phnom Penh yesterday.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

🇦🇺🛒 From iconic Aussie snacks and sweet treats to dairy, fresh fruit, pantry favourites and refreshing drinks, there’s plenty of Aussie goodness to discover at the Australia Fair at Aeon 1. Head over to discover your own favourites.

[Michelle Chan @AusASEANEAS]

Australia and ASEAN are deepening cooperation under our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and advancing the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific.

Great discussion with the ASEAN Committee of Washington in DC alongside @AusAmbUSA.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Gender equality is not just about fairness. It also drives strong business outcomes. Great to see businesses championing gender equality at @unwomenasia’s Cambodia Business Forum and #WEPsAwards. Through the #MekongAustraliaPartnership, 🇦🇺 supports women’s economic participation.

Quick morning trip out to Kien Svay, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. A popular weekend spot for locals with lots of fresh produce and grilled food at the market, and hammocks by the water!

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

In Svay Rieng, I met HE Governor Peng Posa. We discussed Australia’s support to boost health screening in the province to combat TB, diabetes and hypertension. We also talked about economic developments and the need for genuine and sustained action to combat scams centres.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Building on 🇦🇺’s longstanding partnerships to end tuberculosis in 🇰🇭, today we launched the Tbaung Khmer project in Svay Rieng. Amazing to see rural residents accessing TB screening and immediate results and treatment thanks to AI and onsite diagnostics.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

On the auspicious occasion of the 22nd anniversary of the coronation of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for His Majesty’s good health, happiness, longevity & prosperity.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

We’re helping Cambodia build its future workforce through the Automotive Centre of Excellence, set up by Bendigo Kangan Institute, RMA & the Ministry of Labour & Vocational Training. Yesterday we celebrated its first anniversary & the graduation of 115 students and trainers.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Through #CAPRED, 🇦🇺 is helping to build a stronger, more competitive and resilient agricultural sector in 🇰🇭. Met lots of Australian and Australia-supported agrifoods, agricultural input and agritech companies at CAFE26. Congrats to @TinaDITH and MAFF on this great initiative.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

The @NewColomboPlan continues to bring young Australians out into the region we call home. Great to meet Alannah and Hae-Yun yesterday to talk about their experiences in Cambodia, their studies and work in the community.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Another step forward as we continue to deepen education ties with Cambodia. Western Sydney University has signed an MoU with the Australian International School of Phnom Penh to expand pathways to study in Australia and enhance academic collaboration and student mobility.

[Derek Yip @AusEmbPP]

Climate and energy, humanitarian assistance, access to water, gender equality and inclusive growth. Key areas where Australia and @OxfamKH are working together in partnership with 🇰🇭. Great to discuss our collaboration with @Oxfam Executive Director, Amitabh Behar, today.
