Marcos, accompanied by First Lady Louise ''Liza'' Araneta-Marcos, was welcomed by Acting Head of State and Senate President Hun Sen. 

The Philippine President will meet with Prime Minister Hun Manet to discuss agreements as regards higher education, air services, and the combat against transnational crimes.

Before going to the Peace Palace, the First Couple participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the Independence Monument to honor Cambodia's independence.
