On 10 March 2026, the Secretary-General of the National Assembly of Cambodia, Leng Peng Long, and the Secretary-General of the National Assembly of Hungary, György Such, held a working meeting at the National Assembly in Phnom Penh and agreed to move forward with practical implementation of an existing memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two parliamentary secretariats.
According to the National Assembly of Cambodia, the discussion focused on strengthening parliamentary administrative mechanisms, exchanging legal experience, and developing human resources through technical cooperation.
Background
The meeting took place following a courtesy call by György Such on Khuon Sudary, President of the National Assembly of Cambodia, earlier the same day. The National Assembly described the technical-level discussion between the two secretaries-general as a step showing active implementation of Cambodia-Hungary relations within the parliamentary sphere.
Key Areas of Cooperation
The two sides highlighted four priority areas for implementation under the MOU:
- Capacity building for officials through training programs and exchange of experience between specialist staff of the two parliamentary secretariats.
- Administrative and technical modernization, including study of financial management, administrative structures, and technical systems required for parliamentary operations in the digital era.
- Exchange of legal information, with expanded cooperation on legislative information and parliamentary office work.
- Mutual support in regional and international parliamentary frameworks.
Institutional Significance
The reported commitments concern inter-parliamentary administrative cooperation rather than the adoption of a law or regulatory instrument. The reference value lies in documenting a concrete step to operationalize an existing bilateral MOU between Cambodia and Hungary in the parliamentary sector, including identified implementation priorities.
The post also noted that the Hungarian delegation’s visit could support broader cooperation in other sectors, including trade, economy, agriculture, education, and tourism, although no specific decisions in those sectors were stated.
