Israel–Cambodia relations are the official relations between Cambodia and Israel. Both countries established diplomatic ties in 1960. However, Israel cut its ties with Cambodia in 1975 due to the rise of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. Ties were restored in 1993.[1] Despite existing diplomatic ties between the countries, Israel has no embassy in Cambodia and Cambodia has no embassy in Israel. Instead, the Israeli embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, is also accredited to Cambodia.

There are large groups of Cambodian students who study agriculture in Israel.[2]

On December 2014 it was reported that representatives of the Cambodian King would be visiting Israel.[3]

The Israel-Cambodia chamber of commerce was founded in 2010.[4]

Military ties

In 2016 three employees of Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) visited Israel in order to check the possibility to work in the country. In 2017 Israeli Government signed a 4-month-Agreement with the Centre. In frames of this Agreement, 23 employees of the Centre and 12 special trained dogs will come to Israel and will help in de-mining old mine fields, especially in Arava desert.[5][6][7]
