Background
On Wednesday 27 May 2026, Secretary of State Leng Thon Yuttha chaired a working-group meeting at the MPWT headquarters to review the draft roadmap for bilateral cooperation under the memorandum of understanding signed in 2025 with Turkey’s transport ministry. The meeting reviewed the draft roadmap and called on relevant MPWT units to examine the document and prepare amendment requests where additional activities are needed.
The Ministry of Public Works and Transport coordinates national transport policy and international transport cooperation for the Royal Government. A roadmap translates memorandum-of-understanding objectives into sequenced activities and assigned agency responsibilities for bilateral cooperation.
Key Developments
– MPWT held a working-group meeting on 27 May 2026 to examine a draft roadmap implementing the 2025 MOU with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Turkey.
– Secretary of State Leng Thon Yuttha instructed responsible units to review the draft and prepare proposals for amendments where additional actions are required.
– MPWT expects to host the second joint mixed working-group meeting for Cambodia–Turkey MOU implementation in July 2026, with Cambodia serving as the rotating host.
Institutional Role
MPWT is the lead Cambodian agency for operationalizing international transport cooperation and coordinating technical inputs from line directorates. The partner institution named in the memorandum is the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Turkey, which shares responsibility for bilateral planning under the agreed framework.
Operational Implications
Relevant MPWT directorates are required to review the draft roadmap and submit proposed edits or additional activities to clarify roles and timelines. Hosting the next mixed working-group meeting in July 2026 will provide a forum to finalize activity sequencing and align responsibilities between Cambodian and Turkish technical teams.
