A senior United States diplomat in Cambodia says relations between the two countries have deepened in the past few years, with military aid resuming, humanitarian aid flowing, and oil and mineral investments looming.
The US and Cambodia are celebrating 60 years of diplomatic ties this year - a relationship which suffered through the secret bombings of the 1960s and 70s and the brutal years of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Ted Allegra, Charge d'Affaires US Embassy in Phnom Penh, has told Radio Australia's Connect Asia program the relationship between the two countries has matured since relations were restored in 1991.
