This key decision was highlighted during discussions between Yuan Zhongxue, Honorary Chairman of Sailun Group, and PM Hun Manet at the 8th Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Summit in Kunming, China, on 6-7 November 2024.

At the meeting, Mr. Yuan confirmed Sailun’s intentions to intensify its rubber processing into various high-demand products, particularly tires, focusing on domestic and international markets.
