Norwegian foreign ministry confirms a citizen is missing in Cambodia

The Norwegian Foreign Ministry said a Norwegian national is currently unaccounted for in Cambodia and offered consular help.

Norway's Foreign Ministry has verified that one of its citizens is missing in Cambodia. A ministry press officer, Mariken Bruusgaard Harbitz, said the ministry is aware of the situation but cannot share additional information due to confidentiality and privacy considerations. The ministry explained that it can provide support via the closest Norwegian embassy or consular office, which may involve liaising with family members and local officials.

It also highlighted that the foreign service regularly receives concern reports from relatives, employers, or others unable to reach persons abroad. Assistance can include facilitating communication with the missing individual's contacts and engaging Cambodian authorities. No further specifics about the individual's identity or circumstances were released.
