Principles of Sports Diplomacy

Mr. Vath Chamroeun, Secretary-General of the NOCC, emphasized that Cambodia’s participation in the 2025 SEA Games comes with special assurance and support from host nation Thailand. All Cambodian sports delegates will stay together in one hotel in Bangkok.

He reiterated the principles of the Olympic Movement, which are non-discriminatory. He noted that sports competitions are not a platform for politics but are technical contests that foster peace and harmony.

Mr. Chamroeun expressed optimism, stating: “This participation will pave the way for better sports diplomacy by adhering effectively to international sports principles and the Olympic Charter. This can be a good sign for creating harmony and fellowship with all nations and people in the ASEAN region.”

Historical Success

It is worth recalling that during the 2023 SEA Games, which Cambodia successfully hosted, the nation finished in 4th place, achieving a historic high of 282 medals (81 Gold, 74 Silver, and 127 Bronze). This magnificent, historic success continues to receive high praise from countries around the world.
