The article highlighted that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a top priority in Cambodia's foreign policy. In addition, Cambodia also aims to promote efforts to build the ASEAN Community and further expand relations with external partners, in order to maintain peace, stability, and prosperity in and outside the region.
Besides, before officially taking office, on his social network account, Dr. Hun Manet once mentioned and affirmed that Cambodia needs to befriend with all countries from the point of view of a multilateral mechanism.

Cambodia will have more friends and more cooperation relationships to promote economic diplomacy, as well as continue to support and strengthen multilateralism, maintaining political stability and peace of the country, the agency added.
