Advancing Canada–Cambodia Bilateral Relations

Phnom Penh — March 26, 2025 — Canada and Cambodia have maintained a dynamic and evolving bilateral relationship rooted in decades of diplomatic engagement, multilateral cooperation, and growing economic ties. With the recent elevation of Canada’s diplomatic mission in Phnom Penh to a advancing Embassy in March 2025, under the broader Indo-Pacific Strategy, opportunities for deeper partnerships are expanding. As part of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, will lead a Team Canada Trade Mission (TCTM) to Thailand and Cambodia in May 2025. Canada will also send business delegations to the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Brunei Darussalam in May 2025.

Northfield & Associates recognizes the strategic importance of this relationship and is committed to further deepening its collaboration with Cambodian and Canadian partners. As Canada continues to emphasize democratic development, sustainable economic growth, and regional security in its engagement with Cambodia, Northfield & Associates is well positioned to play a pivotal role in facilitating meaningful partnerships and projects that align with these goals.

The strong trade relationship valued at $2.4 billion in 2024 reflects the robust potential for Canadian businesses. With Cambodia benefiting from Canada’s Market Access Initiative (providing duty-free, quota-free access for LDCs), Northfield & Associates stands to gain significantly by supporting Canadian exporters and investors exploring high-growth sectors in Cambodia, such as textiles, infrastructure, agriculture, and sustainable development.

By leveraging its networks and expertise, Northfield & Associates will continue to build bridges between Canadian business leaders and Cambodian markets. This includes facilitating trade missions, investment forums, and capacity-building programs that promote ethical practices, innovation, and mutual prosperity.

Furthermore, Northfield & Associates strongly values the foundational principles of Canada–Cambodia relations: human rights, rule of law, press freedom, and anti-corruption. Our work reinforces these priorities by promoting transparent, accountable, and inclusive practices in all engagements.

Through active collaboration in multilateral platforms such as the UN, ASEAN, WTO, and La Francophonie, Northfield & Associates is proud to contribute to a bilateral relationship that supports peace, stability, and economic resilience in the Indo-Pacific region.
