Japanese investors have expressed keen interest in bolstering small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Their vision includes harnessing cutting-edge Japanese technology to process Cambodian raw materials into high-quality finished products, primed for export. This initiative holds the potential to not only boost the Cambodian economy but also impart crucial skills to its workforce.

The announcement came during a significant meeting between His Excellency Takahashi Fumiaki, President of the Japan-Cambodia Association, and Prime Minister Hun Manet on 12 September 2023.

President Takahashi Fumiaki underscored the Japanese investors’ strong enthusiasm for investing in Cambodia’s SMEs, with a particular focus on two key sectors. Firstly, the production of goods: here, state-of-the-art Japanese technology will be leveraged to process Cambodian raw materials, yielding finished products ready for the global market. Secondly, a diverse range of services, spanning from decoration and beauty to patient care for the elderly, and IT and digital skills development.

As a testament to their commitment, a Japanese business delegation is set to revisit Cambodia in November, aiming to engage in substantive discussions with His Majesty the King. President Takahashi Fumiaki has encouraged the Japanese Business Association to strengthen their collaboration and enhance partnerships with Cambodian stakeholders. This proactive approach aims to translate these investment aspirations into tangible contributions to Cambodia’s growth and prosperity.
