French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Cambodia for a state visit from November 14 to 16, 2026, after an invitation from King Norodom Sihamoni, as announced by Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

During the trip, Macron is slated to host bilateral talks with King Norodom Sihamoni at the Royal Palace, Senate President Samdech Techo Hun Sen, and Prime Minister Hun Manet, and to sign a series of cooperation agreements covering economy, investment, culture and defense.

“Several agreements and cooperation documents spanning economy, investment, culture, and defense will be signed during the visit,” the ministry said, noting that the agreements will “inject fresh impetus into our traditional bonds of friendship.”

Macron will also accompany King Sihamoni to Siem Reap’s Western Mebon Temple, presiding over the final ceremony of its renovation project within the Angkor Archaeological Park.

It will be the first state visit by a French president to Cambodia since François Mitterrand in 1993, marking a new chapter in diplomatic ties between the two countries.
