Second:
Allow me to read the message of Samdech Tepadei Hun Manet Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, posted last night on his Facebook account as follow:
I warmly welcome the message of President Lee Jae Myung of the Republic of Korea highlighting the close and effective cooperation between our two governments in combating transnational crimes, particularly online scams.
The Royal Government reaffirms its unwavering commitment to fighting, suppressing, and eradicating all forms of transnational crime, including online scams, and other cyber-enabled offenses that poses threat to security of society and safety of people.
Transnational crimes, including online scams, are complex and borderless challenges that no single country can effectively address alone. Addressing these threats requires enhanced regional and international cooperation, as clearly demonstrated by the close cooperation and joint efforts between Cambodia and the Republic of Korea.
I also commend the Cambodia–Korea Joint Task Force for its significant achievements in preventing, suppressing, and combating online scams. We express our strong confidence that the Joint Task Force will continue to deliver concrete and impactful results toward the complete eradication of these crimes and other forms of transnational crimes.
