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.
Cooperation between the ruling Cambodian People's Party and the All-Russian Political Party “United Russia” was also promoted on the occasion.
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.
