It was an all day event and I was able to attend in person for the first time in a long time. The CCC is Cambodia&#8217;s oldest and largest NGO networking group. MCC was a founder member of the CCC back in 1990, as the international isolation of Cambodia was coming to end in the lead up to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesconklin.com\/4cambodia\/2021\/30th-anniversary-of-the-paris-peace-agreements\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3151\">Paris Peace Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of the meeting was Partnership for Sustainable Development beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. This is timely as, after two years of significant disruption due to COVID-19, there is room for optimism that Cambodia is turning the corner from pandemic to endemic. Cambodia\u2019s high vaccination rate (as of March 2022 &#8211; 88.3% fully vaccinated, 52.4% booster given) and recent weathering of an Omicron surge preview a return to stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting included a traditional dance performance conducted by one of the CCC&#8217;s member organizations. Charlotte would have liked to be have been in attendance for this part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.charlesconklin.com\/4cambodia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324_090247.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful that MCC asks its personnel to learn the local language and supports us in doing so.
