“This date serves as an opportune moment to reaffirm the commitment to continue deepening the bonds of solidarity and cooperation between our peoples,” the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote on the social media platform X.

Cambodia’s independence was proclaimed on November 9, 1953—a status later recognized by the Geneva Conference in May 1954, which brought an end to French control over Indochina.

Cuba and the Kingdom of Cambodia established diplomatic relations on April 15, 1960, a development rooted in the legacy of the King Father, Norodom Sihanouk, and the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro.

Since then, both nations have maintained strong, uninterrupted diplomatic ties based on mutual respect and understanding.
