The agreement, inked by Cambodian Tourism Minister Huot Hak and Cuba’s Ambassador to Cambodia, Milena Caridad Zaldívar Piedra, aims to foster bilateral cooperation in tourism.
The signing ceremony took place in Siem Reap province and marks a commitment to promote tourism development between the two nations.
