The former [[President of India]], [[Pratibha Patil]], visited Cambodia in 2010 on a state visit and asked the Indian diaspora in the country to, "be the bridge between the two countries to access knowledge, expertise, resources and markets for the development of the country of their origin". While human resource development and capacity building have been the primary focus of our bilateral relations, India is extremely happy to cooperate with Cambodia in infrastructural projects, as well as in projects related to conservation and preservation of historical monuments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_india-cambodia-can-cooperate-in-various-fields-pratibha-patil_1437521|title=India, Cambodia can cooperate in various fields: Pratibha Patil|date=13 September 2010|work=dna}}</ref>"

Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen visited India in January 2018. The two countries signed four key agreement to enhance bilateral cooperation during the visit. The agreements include an MoU on the prevention of human trafficking, a mutual legal assistance treaty in criminal matters, a cultural exchange programme, and a $36.92 million line of credit from India to help develop the Stung Sva Hab water resource development project. India and Cambodia also agreed on facilitating exchanges between senior-level defence personnel and capacity-building projects, and also jointly endorsed the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).<ref>{{cite web|title=India, Cambodia ink 4 pacts, agree to boost connectivity, defence ties - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-cambodia-ink-4-pacts-agree-to-boost-connectivity-defence-ties/articleshow/62678173.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=11 February 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Pioneer|first1=The|title=India, Cambodia sign 4 agreements|url=http://www.dailypioneer.com/sunday-edition/sunday-pioneer/landmark/india-cambodia-sign-4-agreements.html|website=The Pioneer|access-date=11 February 2018|language=en}}</ref>

== Indian diaspora in Cambodia==
{{main|Indians in Cambodia}}
The first Indians in modern times to settle in Cambodia arrived in the 1960s and 1970s. Primarily coming from the northern province of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], they worked as jewellers, moneylenders and traders around Central Market, but they left the country once the [[Khmer Rouge]] arrived. The Indians returned to Cambodia when [[Pol Pot]]’s regime collapsed.
