Singapore enjoys warm bilateral relations with Cambodia. Cambodia was one of the first countries to recognise Singapore when we gained independence in 1965. We cooperate closely bilaterally, within ASEAN as well as in international fora. Over the last decade, ties have steadily expanded, sustained by a regular momentum of high level visits. Economic relations between Singapore and Cambodia have expanded over the years. Cambodia is also among the top 10 recipient countries under the Singapore Cooperation Programme. Singapore established the Cambodia-Singapore Training Centre (CSTC) in Phnom Penh in 2002 under the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI) to train Cambodian officials.
