A Chinese investor delegation from Shanxi province has pledged to facilitate greater Chinese investment in Cambodia, aiming to enhance economic ties between the two nations. This commitment was made during a meeting on 26 March between HE Mr. Thabo Titchansopheak, Advisor to the Council for the Development of Cambodia, and Mr. Darren Teng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cambodia Securities, who led the delegation.

During the meeting, HE Mr. Titchansopheak highlighted Cambodia’s favourable investment climate, noting the country’s open, transparent, and predictable investment laws and the incentives detailed in the Cambodian Investment Law. He urged the delegation to consider investing in priority sectors that could significantly benefit Cambodia’s development.

Mr. Teng expressed a strong interest in exploring investment opportunities in Cambodia. He emphasised the importance of understanding the Royal Government of Cambodia’s policies and incentives and committed to disseminating information to encourage more Chinese investors to engage in the Cambodian market.

The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) reports that Chinese investment has historically ranked among the country’s top foreign capital sources. In the first two months of 2025 alone, the CDC approved 112 investment projects totalling over USD 1 billion, with nearly 80% of that capital originating from China. This trend underscores the robust potential for collaboration and growth between the two nations in the coming years.
