PHNOM PENH, November 13, 2026 — US Ambassador to Cambodia Anderson has held his first meeting with Senate President Hun Sen, with both sides discussing ways to strengthen bilateral relations and expand economic cooperation, including through increased US investment.

In a statement describing the meeting as “productive,” the US Embassy said Ambassador Anderson met Hun Sen to build on the growing momentum in Cambodia-US relations and deepen the partnership for the mutual benefit of both countries.

Economic cooperation was a key focus of their discussions, particularly opportunities to attract more American investment to Cambodia.

The embassy highlighted the US International Development Finance Corporation’s (DFC) $100 million financing for Techo International Airport as an example of the potential benefits of closer economic cooperation and the role of the United States as an important partner for Cambodia.

The meeting reflects both countries’ interest in strengthening economic ties and exploring further opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation.
