Overview
Cambodia ranks among the poorest countries in the world.
It has the highest infant, child and maternal mortality rates
in Asia, and faces the most serious HIV/AIDS epidemic in the
region. The country also struggles with the legacies of war,
genocide, foreign occupation, and corrupt government. U.S.
objectives in Cambodia include promoting democratic practices,
good governance, protection of human rights, and fighting
disease and poverty.
