Officials of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, representatives of the Urban Planning and Design Institute of Shenzhen, Cambodia Chamber of Commerce, and entrepreneur associations have reviewed and collected more inputs for the draft master plan to transform Sihanoukville into a multi-purpose SEZ.

The discussion meeting was held on 15 March, co-organised by the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce and UNIDO.
