Cambodia–Denmark relations refers to the bilateral relations between Cambodia and Denmark. Cambodia is represented in Denmark by its embassy in London, United Kingdom. Denmark is represented in Cambodia by its embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.
History In 1997, Denmark and Cambodia signed an agreement on development cooperation in the areas of the environment and natural resources. In 2001, the first bilateral technical consultations on the cooperation were held in Phnom Penh, and an agreement was signed for the implementation of a five-year environmental support program with a total official development assistance (ODA) budget of over DKK 240 million. On 3 September 2002, Denmark established a representative office in Phnom Penh.
In 2011, the Danish government decided to gradually phase out its ODA to Asia over a two-year period. As a consequence, the representative office in Phnom Penh was closed in June 2013.See: "Danida i Cambodja", Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.
Since June 2013, Denmark has been represented in Cambodia through its embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.
