The World Trade Organization (WTO) has released documents following its recent Trade Policy Review of Cambodia. The review is part of the ongoing efforts, as outlined by WTO agreements, to examine and evaluate member countries' trade and related policies on a regular basis. This ensures that significant developments which could impact the global trading system are monitored appropriately.

The documentation made available as part of this review includes a Secretariat report, an executive summary of the full report, and a government report. The Secretariat report offers a detailed analysis prepared independently by the WTO Secretariat. Meanwhile, the government report is a policy statement provided by the Cambodian government.

The review occurs in a meeting of the WTO's Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB), where the Secretariat and Government reports are discussed. The meetings allow the full membership of the WTO to participate in the discussion and provide feedback.

All WTO members are subject to these reviews, though the frequency is generally dictated by the size of the member country.
