The conference brought together high-level representatives from governments, international organisations, the private sector, and civil society to foster dialogue, strengthen international cooperation, and promote shared commitments toward the SDGs. The discussions focused on three pillars: resilient economies, technology and the future of the planet; risk, uncertainty and conflict; and ensuring the future of human collaboration, multilateralism and governance.
On the sidelines, H.E. Senior Minister held a working discussion with H.E. Bärbel Kofler, Parliamentary State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Both sides exchanged views on Cambodia-Germany development cooperation and discussed preparations for the forthcoming Cambodia-Germany Governmental Consultations, scheduled for November 2026.
The participation reaffirmed Cambodia's strong commitment to multilateral cooperation as a cornerstone for sustainable development and the Royal Government's dedication to advancing the SDGs through inclusive partnerships, mutual accountability, and effective development cooperation.
