Diplomatic relations at the legation level were established in 1947 and then to the rank of ambassador in 1959. It was not until 2013, however, that Turkey established a resident embassy in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh.[1]
Diplomatic Relations
The two countries did not have diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level until 2013.[2] Part of the reason was the close relations that King Sihanouk developed[3] with North Korea. Turkey, as a close ally to South Korea, refrained[4] from fostering relations with the King who maintained[5] his private residence in Pyongyang that was build for him by the president of North Korea, Kim Il-sung,[6] in the 1970s. Relations improved[7] after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, when Cambodia started engaging with noncommunist states.
