Cambodia seeks to boost trade, tourism ties with Kuwait
KUWAIT: Ambassador of the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia Sman Manan reaffirmed the strong and growing relationship between Cambodia and Kuwait on Sunday, tracing its roots back to 1995 when bilateral ties were first established. During a briefing on Cambodia's tourism, the ambassador stated that the relationship between his country and Kuwait began through the efforts of Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, who played a pivotal role in bringing the two countries closer together. 'In 2008, Cambodia opened its embassy in Kuwait, marking a new chapter in diplomatic engagement. That same year, Sheikh Nasser, who served as Prime Minister back then, visited Cambodia, and several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed, covering areas such as manpower, investment, agriculture, and civil aviation,' he said. 'In 2009, then-Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen visited Kuwait, resulting in more agreements. To date, 11 MoUs have been signed between the two countries.' However, while the agreements are in place, the ambassador acknowledged that actual trade and investment flows have yet to reach their full potential. The ambassador noted that over the years, five ambassadors have served in Kuwait, with the current ambassador serving his second term, first in 2015 and again since 2023. His mission focuses on strengthening government-to-government ties, enhancing bilateral trade, attracting Kuwaiti investors to Cambodia, and promoting tourism between the two countries. Cambodian products and posters explaining the country's top attractions and culinary delicacies are displayed. Regarding tourism, the ambassador explained that Cambodian visas for Kuwaitis can be obtained in three ways: Directly from the embassy in Kuwait, online through the official application portal, or upon arrival with arrangements made via a Cambodian travel agency. The ambassador said that while tourist arrivals from Kuwait remain low, many visitors come for humanitarian work, reflecting Kuwait's strong charitable reputation in Cambodia. He stressed that Kuwait has sponsored schools, mosques, housing projects, and orphanages, contributing significantly to Muslim communities across Cambodia. He noted that Cambodia currently has 635 mosques nationwide and a Muslim population of nearly one million, or approximately 5 percent of the population. He assured tourists that halal food is widely available and that the country enjoys complete peace and stability, adding that he is working on establishing a direct flight between the two countries. The ambassador revealed that 38 Cambodian students are studying Arabic in Kuwait under religious sponsorship programs. He encouraged Kuwaiti investors to explore Cambodia's opportunities in real estate, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure. He announced that Cambodia will inaugurate a new international airport on September 9, capable of accommodating large aircraft, which will make travel and investment easier. 'Our goal is to enhance the bilateral relationship, link our trade and investment sectors, and promote tourism and cultural exchange. Cambodia is open, peaceful, and full of potential for our Kuwaiti friends,' the ambassador said.

This year, 45 male and female students participated in the program between the ages of 12 and 16, and the opening day provided a unique opportunity for networking and exchanging experiences between different generations of social entrepreneurs. The aim of this program is to instill in the student skills of leadership and innovation by developing projects that serve society and contribute to its prosperity. Moreover, participants get the opportunity to learn from distinguished leaders at NBK as well as experts from different participating companies and institutions, who provide their knowledge and counselling for the program's competing projects. As part of the program's activities, Mohammed Al-Sarraf, Event Manager at NBK gave the students an orientation session which introduced them to concepts of social responsibility and highlighted NBK's diverse initiatives and programs across different sectors, including healthcare, education, environment, and youth support. Yaqoub Al-Baqer, Assistant Vice President of Public Relations and Event Management commented: 'We are pleased with our collaboration with LOYAC that embodies our joint vision and belief in the significance of investing in Kuwait's youth who, as we strongly believe, can make sustainable and positive change in society'. Al-Baqer added: 'This program is remarkably aligned with NBK's vision that aims to support the youth and expand their knowledge, further enabling them to develop projects that serve their society and provide innovative solutions for environmental, medical, and educational challenges'. Al-Baqer emphasized NBK's strong commitment and dedication towards enabling Kuwait's youth to become influential future leaders, as the bank diligently provides them with the necessary support and confidence to turn their ideas into purposeful projects. NBK is also very keen on constantly providing specialized training programs that invest in youth competencies and give them the opportunity to build promising futures. The program successfully concluded its activities on August 7, after which students benefited from extensive training sessions presented by experienced social entrepreneurship experts, as well as specialized discussions and virtual workshops. At the end of the program, the students competed in a final evaluation of their projects by which the judging committee chose the best three projects as per innovation, excellence, and quality standards. Under its commitment to social responsibility, NBK is always keen on supporting all society segments as well as volunteering non-profit organizations that promote youth education in preparation for a better future.
