Today is the International Day of UN Peacekeepers.
Cambodia’s history reminds us why peacekeeping matters. Australia played a vital role in the peacekeeping efforts that helped restore stability in Cambodia. Today, Cambodia is a major contributor to 🌎 peacekeeping operations.

The decision to pardon Kem Sokha was a meaningful step forward for Mr Sokha and the nation. We would welcome further positive developments in his case.
We continue to encourage Cambodia to enable genuine political participation & stand ready to support Cambodia to achieve this.

As energy supplies tighten globally, Australia is helping to boost energy security in Cambodia. Through strong support for Cambodia’s clean energy transition, we’re enhancing Cambodia’s energy sovereignty and helping Cambodians to access cleaner, cheaper and more reliable power.

Lieutenant-General John Sanderson played an integral role in delivering the UNTAC peacekeeping operations that helped to bring peace and stability to Cambodia.
Great to talk to him about the complexity and success of those efforts, and the proud legacy of Australia and UNTAC.
