The Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) continues to join international meetings with the International Federation of Asian and Western Pacific Contractors’ Associations (IFAWPCA) and the ASEAN Constructors Federation (ACF).

On 10 December, CCA representative Charles Vann attended the 2nd IFAWPCA virtual executive board meeting. The meeting touched on issues related to the functioning of IFAWPCA such as the finance report and budget for the year 2021, a review of the previous meeting, as well as review on the date of the Maldives Convention 2021.

Participants were also given opportunities to exchange experiences related to the construction industry with the other members of the IFAWPCA. IFAWPCA is an association that was established in 1956 to promote social and economic progress through construction development.

Meanwhile, on 11 December, Charles Vann also attended the ASEAN Constructors Federation (ACF) Council Meeting via video conference call. The meeting discussed the COVID-19 status, economic situation in ASEAN, building materials markets, construction issues, and investment opportunities in each country.

Cambodia’s construction industry, like many ASEAN countries, has also been impacted by the CVID-19 pandemic. According to figures from the Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), In the first ten months of 2020, the government approved more than 4,000 construction projects worth over US$6.4 billion.

However, construction has yet to begin for most of the approved projects as developers are waiting for the COVID-19 situation to improve.
