A New Chapter in EU–Cambodia Relations

Abstract

In the shifting currents of global geopolitics and trade, the European Union and Cambodia are working together to reinforce free trade, deepen cooperation and development assistance, and sharing a vision of a sustainable and green future. Cambodia is on the threshold of a historic transformation. Its graduation from Least Developed Country (LDC) status in 2029 will be more than a bureaucratic milestone – it will be an economic coming of age. This evolution signals a maturing economy with rising ambitions, but also some potential new challenges.
