EU day has been celebrated every year for the past several years at PUC. Since 1990, the EU has been quite active in Cambodia as a development partner. mainly in the areas of human rights, democracy, gender, and development.

Ambassador Cautain then talked about the history of the European Union in the 27 member states and the development aid which the EU has been providing. He also stated that there will be more job opportunities to the people in ASEAN  due to more investment from EU countries.

During the question and answer session that followed, students asked many interesting questions regarding education, economic development, human rights and youth in Cambodia.
