About Cambodia

As of 2025, Cambodia has a population of over 17 million, with Khmer as the official language. The country features the Tonle Sap lake and Mekong River delta, with plains and the Cardamom Mountains in the southwest, experiencing a tropical monsoon climate. Phnom Penh serves as the capital.
Cambodia has experienced rapid economic growth in recent decades, driven by garment manufacturing, tourism centered on Angkor Wat, agriculture, and construction. Key agricultural products include rice, rubber, and cassava, while the country continues to develop its infrastructure and manufacturing base. Despite significant poverty reduction, Cambodia faces challenges including income inequality, corruption, and vulnerability to climate change. The country continues to balance economic development with preservation of its rich cultural and historical heritage.
