The agreements were signed in Phnom Penh on November 24 in the witness of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and his visiting Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.
Under the signed documents, Cambodia and Russia will bolster links in fields such as information exchange on prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing, investment, press and communications.

Cambodia is a traditional partner of Russia in the Southeast Asian region. The two countries set up diplomatic ties in 1956. Their relationship was re-established in 1979 after the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime was toppled after its five-year domination.
Two-way trade between Cambodia and Russia now hits 48.01 million USD.
