The objective of this meeting was to study the investment climate in Cambodia.

PM Hun Sen welcomed the Chinese investors and stated that the investment climate in Cambodia has improved for five reasons.

“First, Cambodia has peace and stability, which is the foundation for investment. Second, Cambodia has investment laws that provide convenience to investors. Third, Cambodia has a one-stop centre for facilitating investment,” said PM Hun Sen.

“Fourth, Cambodia does not require investors to use only the riel to conduct business in Cambodia, other currencies are allowed. Fifth, Cambodia has a large young labour force,” he added.
