HE Heng Sokkung, Secretary of State and spokesman at the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology, and Innovation, said that among the total factories, 18 factories are a result of Chinese investments and the other three are Cambodian, Malaysian, and French investments, respectively.

Of the 21 factories, nine are located in Phnom Penh, six in Kandal province, three in Sihanoukville province, two in Kampong Speu province, and one in Koh Kong province.

Recently, the Council for the Development of Cambodia issued an investment registration certificate for a US$84.5 million solar panel plant in a Special Economic Zone in Kratie province.

In the first quarter, Cambodia exported more than US$13 million worth of solar panels.
