PHNOM PENH, April 9, 2026 — French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Cambodia in November to attend the Francophonie Summit, signaling a further strengthening of ties between the two countries.
The planned visit was announced by Macron following his meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet in Paris.

The visit is expected to underscore expanding cooperation between Cambodia and France across multiple sectors, as well as their shared commitment within the Francophonie framework.
