PHNOM PENH - Cambodia on Thursday reaffirmed its strong commitment to combating and suppressing all forms of transnational crimes, including online scams, human trafficking and other cyber-enabled offenses.

These crimes have threatened the safety, dignity, and welfare of individuals, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, adding that the kingdom has made significant achievements in dismantling criminal networks and bringing perpetrators to justice.

"Over the past two years, Cambodia has intensified nationwide operations to identify, investigate, and dismantle online scam networks," the statement said. "These efforts include strengthening and enforcing laws against trafficking, cybercrime, fraud, and money laundering."

The statement said the government has taken decisive administrative actions, including the revocation of 120 business licenses, suspension of over 1,000 gambling-related websites, and freezing of illicit bank accounts linked to digital fraud schemes.

"The Cambodian law enforcement agencies have conducted numerous targeted operations across the country," it said.

According to the statement, Cambodia is establishing a national cybercrime task force, upgrading digital forensics capacity, and working with all partners to strengthen cross-border enforcement and cyber-governance frameworks.

"These results underscore Cambodia's firm commitment to eradicating online crimes, safeguarding digital integrity, and promoting a safer regional cyberspace," it said.

The statement said Cambodia continues to work closely with its regional and international partners, including South Korea, China, and ASEAN member states, through joint investigations, intelligence sharing, and mutual legal assistance.
