Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has met with Cambodian leaders to reinforce the commitment of both nations to resettling refugees from Nauru.
Cambodia's prime minister and deputy prime minister have committed to accepting more refugees processed in the Australian-run immigration detention centre, Mr Dutton said, after he stopped off in Phnom Penh on his way home from from European discussions about Syrian refugees.
Last month, an official from Cambodia's interior ministry indicated the country wouldn't take any more than the four refugees it had already accepted from Nauru.
