The newly-constructed Australian Embassy, located near the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and international cooperation of Cambodia, is scheduled to open for media briefing on September 1, the press release from embassy here obtained on Thursday said.

“The briefing will focus on the background information in the building of Australia’s relationship with Cambodia,” it said. “There will be a short tour around the building and the visitors will not be permitted to bring the cameras or mobile phones in the chancery and the embassy will have some photos available for media and media representatives have to confirm in advance.”

Bilateral trades between Cambodia and Australia in 2008 reached over USD 26 million and Cambodia imported products from Australia worth about USD 16 million and exported products totalling about USD 10 million, according to the Cambodian Commerce Ministry. “It increased about 20 per cent if comparing with 2007”, it says.

Cambodia and Australia have strengthened the relationship in trades and security and have co-operated in the fight against terrorism. Australia also helped training Cambodian officials.

In 2006, PM Hun Sen visited Australia. He and his then counterpart John Howard have signed various agreements with the Asia Link and the ANZ Royal Bank and Australia's BHP Billiton Company to develop the aluminum mines in Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri provinces.
