External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today

called on Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen here during her visit to the Southeast Asian nation.

Swaraj is in Cambodia on the concluding leg of her two-nation tour that also took her to Vietnam.

"Hon'ble EAM Smt @SushmaSwaraj called on @hunsencambodia, Prime Minister of Cambodia at Peace Place in Cambodia," MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted.

Swaraj also met the President of the Senate of Cambodia Say Chhum.

Yesterday, she met her Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhonn and discussed bilateral, multilateral and important international issues at delegation-level talks at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here as the two countries signed two agreements to step up cooperation.

 

India and Cambodia have enjoyed friendly relations for a long time. Both countries formally established diplomatic relations in 1952. In 2000, Cambodia vowed its full support for India to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Swaraj's four-day tour to the two key ASEAN nations is seen as India's attempt to balance China's rising influence in Southeast Asia.
