Phnom Penh: The U.S. Embassy in the Kingdom of Cambodia has chosen the Chattomuk pedestrian street in Daun Penh district to organize a celebration to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States Independence Day with the organization of an exhibition of American food and products, which will be open to the public on the evening of July 4, 2026.
The ceremony was held in the presence of Mr. Khuong Sreng, Governor of Phnom Penh, and Ms. Aleksandra Zittle, Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia, with a tour of the booth and tasting of American food.
The event underscored America’s long-standing commitment to innovation and diplomacy to continue to strengthen the U.S.-Cambodia relationship.
Mr. Khuong Sreng said that the ceremony to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ Independence Day is now five days after the 76th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Cambodia and the United States on June 29, 1950. Cooperation between Cambodia and the United States has been moving towards excellence as Cambodia enjoys complete peace under the leadership of Samdech Techo Hun Sen, former Prime Minister of Cambodia, and continued to be led by Samdech Thip Dei Hun Manet, Prime Minister, and has also improved the diplomatic relations between the two countries to a new level.
Mr. Khuong Sreng said that through diplomatic relations between the two countries, trade, investment, education and demining have improved in Cambodia, along with a shared commitment to maintaining global security.
At the same time, Ms. Aleksandra Zittle, Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy, said that 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. A major achievement that we not only celebrate as Americans, but we have celebrated with our Cambodian friends throughout the year.
She said, “The music of the Pacific Brass, as it exists today, is a universal language that needs no translation. It can cross borders, connect cultures, and touch the hearts of all people, and tonight, music brings us together on this boardwalk to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. This initiative demonstrates the strong connection and friendship between the people of our two countries. As we celebrate this special and historic milestone in the United States, let us also celebrate what we have built together over the years: a friendship based on mutual respect, a long-standing relationship, and a shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous future.”
