Regarding the fight against transnational crime, including online scams, the Cambodian and Korean authorities have had and continue to have good cooperation with many fruitful results, and this cooperation will continue in the future. Samdech Borvor Thipadei also highlighted that Cambodia has always taken active and successive measures to combat transnational crime, including online scams, through a self-reliant approach and in cooperation with many partners, including the Republic of Korea.
Before concluding, Samdech Borvor Thipadei and Her Excellency the Second Vice Minister discussed the future direction of bilateral cooperation, and both countries pledged to continue strengthening and expanding relations and cooperation more broadly and deeply, aimed at ensuring the safety and excellent relationship between the peoples of the two countries.
