British Embassy Phnom Penh

The British Embassy in Cambodia maintains and develops relations between the UK and Cambodia.

We promote UK interests through a strong, effective relationship with Cambodia. We work in a number of areas including STEM education, human rights and good governance, climate change, and child protection.

We provide support and advice to the growing number of UK companies doing businesses in Cambodia, and provide consular assistance to British nationals, over 135,000 of whom visit Cambodia each year.

We also provide significant financial support to the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (Khmer Rouge Tribunal) to bring to justice those responsible for the atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge era.

Find out more on our UK and Cambodia news page. We provide services to British nationals living in and visiting Cambodia. You can access UK government services while in Cambodia.
