Cambodia and Israel to Boost Agricultural Cooperation
(Cambodianess) Rin Ousa - The new Israeli Ambassador to Cambodia Alona Fisher-Kamm, who will be based in Bangkok, presented her credentials to King Norodom Sihamoni at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh on Nov. 24. State-owned TVK television said the King conveyed his appreciation to the government and people of Israel for their longstanding collaboration with Cambodia, noting Israel's active support in commerce, tourism, education, and agriculture. On Nov. 25, Kamm met Dith Tina, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, who encouraged the Israeli side to expand support for Cambodian agricultural students in Israel, enabling them to gain practical skills and comprehensive knowledge. The Israeli government provides 11-month scholarships for Cambodian students to study and gain firsthand experience in the modern agricultural sector in Israel. From 2008 to 2025, Cambodia sent 2,123 students to study agriculture in Israel. However, a Cambodian student was killed in a Hamas attack on Israel in 2023.
