Cambodia has officially welcomed a recent agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at consolidating a ceasefire, reducing regional tensions, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation issued on Friday, June 19, Cambodia praised the diplomatic efforts that led to the agreement and expressed hope that it would be implemented in good faith to achieve lasting and sustainable peace.
Cambodia emphasized its consistent support for the peaceful resolution of disputes through dialogue, diplomacy, and mutual respect. The Southeast Asian nation commended all parties involved in facilitating the negotiations and called on them to continue building on the positive momentum through sustained dialogue and constructive engagement.
The Cambodian government highlighted several strategic benefits of the agreement, noting that peace, stability, and freedom of navigation in the Middle East are essential for regional and global security, economic growth, international trade, and common prosperity. The statement specifically emphasized that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would help restore confidence in global supply chains and contribute to stability in international energy markets—outcomes the nation views as critical for broader economic stability.
Cambodia's support reflects the wider diplomatic recognition of the agreement's potential to ease Middle East tensions and improve global economic conditions. The nation encouraged all parties to leverage this diplomatic breakthrough as a foundation for fostering lasting peace and stability throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Why This Matters
Cambodia's endorsement signals growing Southeast Asian support for Middle East stabilization efforts that directly impact global energy security and supply chain resilience. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly one-third of seaborne oil passes—has immediate consequences for regional economies dependent on stable energy prices and uninterrupted maritime trade. By publicly backing this agreement, Cambodia reinforces the importance of diplomatic solutions to geopolitical conflicts and positions itself within a consensus favoring de-escalation, which affects international business confidence and commodity markets.
