Phnom Penh – Representatives of several Austrian companies plan to visit Cambodia in the near future to explore investment opportunities, while the newly appointed Austrian ambassador promises to further strengthen bilateral relations.

Senate spokesman Tse Tillis said Hun Sen welcomed the ambassador’s arrival and expressed the hope that her diplomatic mission would further strengthen relations between the two countries.
Wieser promised to work hard to cultivate and promote relations between Cambodia and Austria, noting that since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1956, bilateral relations will soon celebrate their 70th anniversary.
