Cambodia–Japan relations are foreign relations between Cambodia and Japan. Japan has an embassy in Phnom Penh and Cambodia has an embassy in Tokyo.

History

Japan's relationship with Cambodia began in 1603.[1] Cambodian ships would trade at the port of Nagasaki. In one of Cambodia's earliest mission, military aid was requested. Tokugawa Ieyasu sent swords and other weapons. However, Ieyasu did not want to be involved in Southeast Asian military actions. In 1742, official contact with Japan and Cambodia ended. Cambodian officials stopped going to Nagasaki for trade.

Trade

Trade is sizable between the two countries:

  • Japan to Cambodia: 14.0 billion yen (2006)
  • Cambodia to Japan: 9.5 billion yen (2006)

Japanese investment in Cambodia includes Phnom Penh Commercial Bank, a joint venture of Hyundai Switzerland and Japanese SBI Group, opened in 2008.

Japanese aid

Japan remains Cambodia's top donor country providing some US$1.2 billion in total official development assistance since 1992.[2] In 2006, Japanese and Cambodian governments signed an agreement outlining a new Japanese aid program worth US$59 million.[3]

The Japanese government has provided significant assistance for demining and education.[4][5]
