MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos will travel to Cambodia from Sept. 7 to 9 for a state visit aimed at deepening the relations between Manila and Phnom Penh, Malacañang said Thursday.
In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said that Marcos and the first lady were invited by His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia.
They will be received by Acting Head of State and Senate President Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen and his spouse, Samdech Kittiprittbindit Bun Rany Hun Sen, on behalf of His Majesty.
Marcos will hold a bilateral meeting with Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, "to discuss expanding cooperation in combating transnational crimes and enhancing connectivity as well as in the key sectors of agriculture, higher education, tourism, and cultural cooperation between the two countries," the PCO said.
The State Visit to Cambodia reciprocates the official trip to the Philippines of Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet in February 2025. The last state visit by a Philippine president to Cambodia was in 2016.
