This initiative is part of Cambodia’s transition toward a fully digital E-Parliament, aimed at enhancing public service delivery, transparency, accountability, and governance.

Before concluding their discussions, Samdech Khuon Sudary extended an invitation to Hon. Ya«l Braun-Pivet to lead a delegation from the French National Assembly on an official visit to Cambodia.
