Held on September 3, 2026, the high-level forum was co-chaired by H.E. Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice President of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, and H.E. Wang Wenbin, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Cambodia. The institutional dialogue serves as a key economic mechanism to reinforce trade ties, bolster commercial confidence among Chinese business leaders, and streamline multi-sectoral collaboration under the bilateral Diamond Cooperation framework.

The comprehensive meeting centered on four critical operational agendas structured to systematically enhance the Kingdom’s business environment. First, both delegations conducted a joint assessment reviewing progress and practical solutions implemented since the inaugural dialogue session. Second, government officials presented recent updates regarding national investment policies, regulatory frameworks, and administrative procedures. Third, representatives from Chinese enterprises raised specific operational inquiries and proposals, receiving direct clarifications and action plans from representatives of relevant Cambodian ministries and state institutions. Fourth, the forum established concrete future action directions to ensure sustained follow-up on emerging private-sector needs.

Through the dialogue, both governments reaffirmed their shared commitment to deepening bilateral trade momentum, increasing total investment volume, and maintaining a highly responsive, investor-friendly economic ecosystem. By establishing transparent problem-solving mechanisms and aligning public policy with corporate requirements, both nations aim to deliver tangible economic benefits, drive job creation, and secure long-term sustainable development for their respective peoples.
