Cambodia–Laos relations are foreign relations between Cambodia and Laos established in 1956. Cambodia has an embassy in Vientiane.[1] and Laos has an embassy in Phnom Penh.[2] Both countries are full members of the ASEAN

There are "shades of irredentism" along the border;[3] as a result the Cambodia–Laos border was not fully demarcated as of 2019.[4]

In 2024, the government of Lao PDR gifted two elephants to Cambodia. It was a gift from Laotian President Thongloun Sisoulith to King Norodom Sihamoni. They are considered meaningful presents from Lao to Cambodia.[5]
