Two senior British officials – Jon Lambe, UK Ambassador to ASEAN and Director of South East Asia and Pacific Department, Joelle Jenny – are travelling to Cambodia for a two-day visit to build stronger ties as the country took over as ASEAN Chair earlier this year, according to a press release of the UK Government issued yesterday.

 

“A strong UK-ASEAN relationship is a critical part of our global engagement, foreign policy and our Indo-Pacific Tilt. Our Dialogue Partner status has enabled us to deliver deeper UK-ASEAN cooperation and mutual benefit,” the source added.

 

Ambassador Lambe said the UK is delighted to be the first new Dialogue Partner to ASEAN in 25 years. This partnership will allow the UK to work more closely with Cambodia, and other ASEAN Member States on shared challenges such as trade, investment, climate change, the environment, science and technology and education.
