Joint Statement on United States-Cambodia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade

The United States of America (the United States) and the Kingdom of Cambodia (Cambodia) have reached an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade to strengthen our bilateral economic relationship, which will provide both countries' exporters unprecedented access to each other's markets.
