According to the EU ambassador to Cambodia, the European Union (EU) will not severe ties with Cambodia, but will send a delegation of senior officials to the Kingdom later this year to monitor the situation.
The EU has suspended assistance to the National Election Committee (NEC) following the court-dissolution of the main opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), in November 2017.
However , the Foreign Affairs Council of the EU suggested closely monitoring the Kingdom in February.
As part of that engagement, senior EU officials from the European Commission and the European External Action Service – the diplomatic arm of the EU – will visit Cambodia this year to assess the situation and interact with the authorities and other relevant actors.
