New British Ambassador Appointed to Cambodia
Re: New British Ambassador Appointed to Cambodia
Spot on - I got a reply from him on Twitter & suggested he review some of the fairly uncomplimentary comments about his predecessors on forums/embassy Facebook, etc & get a feel for what he's coming in to. Response was that he's very keen to engage the expats here. All positive on (a) getting a response, (b) seems he genuinely wants to improve relations with Brits here, not just turn up for NGO tea parties & scholarship presentations. Fingers crossed.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 12:36 amYou have a point, but have you read the (general) forum comments on the out-going British Ambassador ?

It's not like he's gonna read the main forum about the country he's in, right ?
And he probably only reads Twitter anyway.

Re: New British Ambassador Appointed to Cambodia
As Cambodia has become more of Communist China 2.0, starting with China City and a key part in the Belt and Road Initiative, the country will grow in importance diplomatically.
Hearing all the complaints of various members of the flaws of previous ambassadors, hopefully the new British ambassador will step up the game in helping it’s citizens.
I am puzzled about the comment about mistreatment of it’s citizens living abroad during the British Empire. From the little I’ve read, British citizens living abroad were consistently treated much better than the locals in any part of the colonial empire. So much so, the locals called for independence.

Re: New British Ambassador Appointed to Cambodia
I'm not sure if you read beyond the headline New Kid on the Block but it clearly says she thanked Cambodian authorities for providing assistance to British citizens. Nowhere does it mention the British Embassy's support for citizens. They know they would draw flack if they said that.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Cambodia, UK discuss Trade and Investment Cooperation
Posted on Friday, 27 January, 2023
Cambodia and U.K discussed requested trade cooperation and the former encouraged the latter to consider investing in the processing of agricultural products, food and agro-industry.
The discussion took place on Jan. 25 during a courtesy meeting between H.E. Pan Sorasak, Minister of Commerce and H.E. Dominic Williams, newly appointed British Ambassador to Cambodia, at the ministry.
The minister congratulated the ambassador on his role and thanked the U.K. for its support especially on trade, health, education, financial management, infrastructure development, and COVID-19 containment in Cambodia.
He also expressed his appreciation of the U.K. new preferential tariff system for developing countries, including Cambodia, contributing positively to Cambodia’s export and employment, and encouraged U.K. more investment on agricultural products, food and agro-industry in Cambodia.
H.E. Dominic Williams reaffirmed U.K. commitment to strengthen bilateral cooperation, including through trade and investment.
The UK is an important market for Cambodia and the two-way trade volume reached US$1 billion in 2022, an increase of about 24 percent compared to US$786 million in 2021.
The main exports from Cambodia to the U.K. include garments, footwear, bicycles, and agricultural products while the key imports from the U.K. to Cambodia are machinery, pharmaceuticals, and beverages.
