At the delivery ceremony attended by General Kun Kim, Senior Minister for Special Missions and First Vice-Chairperson of the National Committee for Disaster Management of Cambodia; other members of the Committee; the officials of our Embassy in Phnom Penh; and the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia, Senior Minister Kun thanked the people and Government of Turkey for supporting the people of Cambodia and standing in solidarity with them during these difficult times.
