Phnom Penh, 30 April 2026— To commemorate the World Press Freedom Day (May 3), we, the undersigned stakeholders, reaffirm our commitment to the fundamental principles of freedom of expression and the indispensable role of a free, independent, and pluralistic media in Cambodia, the wider region and across the world. As the global community commemorates this day under the theme “Shaping a Future at Peace: Promoting Press Freedom for Human Rights, Development, and Security,” we once again reassert that an enabling media environment is a gateway to improved accountability, rights enjoyment and informed societies.
