Both parties agreed that there are a lot of rooms for Indonesia and Cambodia to work together to deal with this problem.

Ambassador Santo pointed out that exports of Indonesian pharmaceutical products doubled last year compared to the previous year. This makes medicines one of the top five main export products from Indonesia to Cambodia. He further asked for support from the Cambodian Ministry of Health to facilitate sustainable access to Indonesian medicines and supplements for the growing number of Cambodian consumers.

Moreover, Ambassador Santo also explained that the number of Indonesian citizens working in Cambodia is increasing. There are some of them who do not aware of health problems in Cambodia and how to overcome them. Therefore, he also asked for the support of the Cambodian Ministry of Health to provide health education to the Indonesian people living in Cambodia. The request received a positive response from Cambodian Health Minister Chheang Rea.

This year, Indonesia and Cambodia commemorate 65 years of diplomatic relations. Indonesia is Cambodia's sixth largest trading partner.
