Chinese Investors Eye Expansion in Cambodia: 19 Companies Explore Opportunities

 

In a significant development for Cambodia’s investment landscape, a delegation comprising representatives from 19 Chinese companies convened with officials from the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) to discuss potential investment opportunities. The meeting took place on 11 March 2025, and was led by Mr. Liu Yong, President of the Young Investors Association in Yinan Province, Kunming City, China.

During the meeting, HE Chea Vutthy, Secretary-General of the Investment Committee of Cambodia, welcomed the delegation and acknowledged their interest in expanding investments across various sectors in the country. Mr. Liu Yong emphasised that the companies are currently engaged in fields including agriculture, health, construction, technology, energy, and hospitality, among others.

The Young Investors Association, which boasts approximately 1,500 members with diverse business interests, is particularly keen on increasing its footprint in Cambodia. Mr. Liu expressed a commitment to exploring new opportunities, particularly in sectors such as agricultural processing, including rice and rubber, to meet local industry demands.

HE Chea Wutthy praised the delegation for their proactive approach and encouraged them to consider a broader range of investments that could benefit both the companies and the Cambodian economy.

Investment in Cambodia has been on an upward trajectory, with Chinese investments consistently ranking as a top contributor. In fact, in 2024, China’s investments accounted for nearly 50% of the total incoming capital, highlighting the strong economic ties between the two nations.

This meeting underscores Cambodia’s appeal as a destination for foreign investment, particularly from China, as the country continues to position itself as a hub for economic growth in the region.
