Spokesperson Du Sokha said at a press briefing on the 4th that authorities investigated 272 trafficking and exploitation cases during the year. Among those arrested were 53 women and 43 foreign nationals. All suspects have since been transferred to provincial courts for legal proceedings. He added that the National Anti-Trafficking Committee identified 355 victims and suspected victims, with cases involving both domestic crimes and cross-border trafficking activities. On the international front, task forces assisted 28 foreign victims in returning safely to their home countries.

The Ministry stressed that Cambodia will continue strengthening inter-agency and international cooperation, maintaining strict enforcement against trafficking crimes to safeguard public security and human rights.
