Singapore— From October 20–23, 2025, His Excellency Liv Sophanarith, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MPTC), led the Cambodian delegation to participate in the 10th Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW) and the 10th ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity (AMCC), organized by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. The event brought together ministers, policymakers, technical experts, digital entrepreneurs, researchers, and civil society representatives from around the world to discuss cybersecurity policies and operational governance and advancements in emerging technologies.

During the high-level dialogue, H.E. Secretary of State Liv Sophanarith, representing the Royal Government of Cambodia, underscored the importance of regional and international cooperation in addressing cybersecurity threats in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ensuring the resilience of the Internet of Things (IoT) as Cambodia has been drafting the Cybersecurity Law. The protection of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) and the strengthening of the operations of the National Computer Emergency Response Team (National CERT) are the key mechanisms and priorities to be implemented in the future under the law.

In addition to implementing the Cybersecurity Law, Cambodia also supports five regional cybersecurity priorities, including (1) coordinating ASEAN’s cyber mechanisms through the ASEAN Cyber-CC and CERT; (2) promoting cooperation and harmonization of cybersecurity standards across sectors; (3) addressing emerging cybersecurity threats through leveraging emerging technologies; (4) implementing cyber laws and building cybersecurity human resources; and (5) fostering partnerships between governments, the private sector, civil society, and development partners to build an effective, secure, and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

H.E. Secretary of State further emphasized that cybersecurity should not be viewed as an obstacle to development but rather as a key enabler of innovation, trust, and sustainable growth.
