Foreign ministers of Cuba and Cambodia on Wednesday agreed to strengthen bilateral relations that have enjoyed close cooperation and friendship for over 50 years.
"Cuba has always supported Cambodia in all fields, particularly during the most tragic period in our history," said Cambodian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hor Namhong. He will be visiting Cuba until Thursday.
"Our political relations have always been very close and we support each other," said Namhong after a meeting with his Cuban counterpart Bruno Rodriguez.
Havana and Cambodia established diplomatic relations in April 1960 and both countries have suffered from economic embargo by the United States.
"On behalf of the government and people of Cuba, I thank Cambodia for the continued solidarity, especially in the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) vote against the U.S. blockade against Cuba," Rodriquez said.
Cambodia and Cuba maintain collaboration in the field of education. 30 young Cambodian university students are currently studying in Cuba.
