National Olympic Committee of Cambodia, met and discussed with H.E. Annatoly
Borovik, Ambassador of Russia to Cambodia, at the headquarters of the National
Olympic Committee of Cambodia on Wednesday afternoon, September 10, 2025.
H.E. Vath Chamroeun, Secretary General of the National
Olympic Committee of Cambodia, said that, this important meeting focused on
cooperation in the Olympic and Paralympic movements, as well as relation and
mutual support in sports diplomacy.
H.E. Secretary General continued that, Russia is also ready
to support the provision of scholarships to Cambodian sports students and the
training of professional sports skills and human resources in the sports sector
in Cambodia. At the same time, Olympic Movement cooperation between the two
countries must also be strengthened because Russia needs the support of member
countries, the Olympic Movement, sports diplomacy on the international stage,
both the Olympic and Paralympic Movements, as well as mutual support between
the Olympic and Paralympic Sports of the two countries.
H.E. Vath Chamroeun also emphasized that, because Russia is
a country with high qualifications in the field of sports, Cambodia can learn a
lot both in terms of personal training and sports science, sports psychology,
as well as management. In fact, many sports leaders in Cambodia have been former
students who studied in Russia in the past.
