云南省与暹粒省于2006年4月21日正式缔结友好省关系。自结好以来，双方高层互访频繁，在农业、文化等领域的交流合作取得实质性成果，两省合作建成云南-暹粒友好农业科技示范园。在两省共同合作推动下，由云南省文投集团投资的大型音乐舞蹈史诗剧《吴哥的微笑》与2010年11月在暹粒省吴哥成功首演，时任中国文化部蔡武部长、柬埔寨暹粒省议会议长陈索菲先生、中柬两国的文化艺术专家及来自世界各地的观众共计400余人观看了演出。《吴哥的微笑》充分运用“柬埔寨元素、中国手法”进行打造，是中国艺术家第一次以自己的理念对外国文化进行的全面诠释。它是柬中文化合作的重要成果，勘称中柬艺术的结晶，同时也开启了两省友谊的新篇章。
