Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Australian Ambassador Visits This Life and Edith House
22 June 2023

In the second week of June, This Life was thrilled to host the Australian Ambassador to Cambodia, Justin Whyatt, Sokunthea Nguon, and Paul Jenkins.

They visited our office in Siem Reap and had the chance to visit Edith House, our groundbreaking social enterprise program. We recruit vulnerable young people from orphanages, from communities where we run other programs, and through partner NGOs. Students begin their training by working closely with their case manager to set personal and professional goals and plans for starting a business or seeking employment when they graduate. They are empowered with life skills, personal development, vocational training, and all the support they need to prepare for a bright future.

The ambassador also had a chance to meet some of our volunteers from Australian Volunteers Program. For over 10 years, the program has supported This Life with incredible volunteers who have brought immense strategic and operations value, propelling us to new heights. Our founder, Billy Gorter, actually came to Cambodia through the program, and the rest, as they say, is history.

In the words Susan Black, one of our current volunteers, “great people, great program.”

Australia Pledges to Continue Health Collaboration with Cambodia
Phnom Penh, September 08, 2023 --

Australia has pledged to continue supporting the Ministry of Health's priorities and boost bilateral health collaboration with Cambodia.
The pledge was made by H.E. Justin Whyatt, Ambassador of Australia to Cambodia, in a meeting with H.E. Chheang Ra, Minister of Health, here in Phnom Penh on Sept. 7.

H.E. Chheang Ra recalled H.E. Justin Whyatt of the Australian government's contribution to building a resilient and strong health system in Cambodia through financing under technical assistance and grant-aid frameworks.
The minister spoke highly of Australia's continued support for the ministry's efforts to promote Cambodian people's welfare and achieve global health coverage in line with the government's pentagonal strategy.
He requested that Australia examine the possibility of strengthening the capacity of Cambodian doctors, dentists, pharmacists, midwives, and nurses in order to further improve health care standards in Cambodia.

That’s nice of Australia - shame they don’t get their own back yard up to scratch first
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
