Phnom Penh— On the morning of August 14, 2025, Her Excellency Prak Channay, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MPTC), led a meeting on the “Establishment of an Inter-Ministerial Working Group for Online Content Monitoring” at the MPTC headquarters. The meeting brought together approximately 66 participants, including representatives from various government ministries, high-level technical, legal, and digital technology officials, and civil society organizations.

The meeting was organized to provide updates on the implementation progress of several action points agreed upon during the previous meeting on January 11, 2024, which focused on establishing a joint reporting system for online content monitoring, reporting mechanisms, and content removal. The key proposals included the establishment of an Inter-Ministerial Working Group for Online Content Monitoring, the creation of sector-specific content monitoring teams, and preparing for the upcoming pilot testing of the reporting system.

H.E. Secretary of State Prak Channay highlighted that, as an assistant to the Royal Government responsible for developing and promoting the digital technology sector—while also ensuring user safety—the MPTC is committed to enhancing online safety through the creation of the reporting system and inter-ministerial working group mechanism. These initiatives aimed to protect the interests and well-being of Cambodian citizens and society. She further emphasized that, as part of the strategies to encourage digital technology companies to adopt the Child Online Protection (COP) Guidelines, it is necessary to have a reporting and case management system to address incidents involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Such a system will enable the identification of emerging trends on online platforms through data, which will allow for effective analysis and policy formulation that addresses the problem.
