Sun Chanthol, Senior Minister and Minister of Public Works and Transport, said that the infrastructure sector is important for developing Cambodia’s economy through facilitating business and investment, creating jobs, and reducing poverty.

Besides the infrastructure sector, H.E. Sun Chanthol laid out other main investment priority sectors including light industry, processing industry, agriculture and agro-industry production, food production, tourism, and human resource building.
