This announcement was made during a discussion between His Majesty the King of Cambodia and Mr. Marn Ki-jeong, President of the Korea Federation of Industries (KIAF) on 17 May 2024, during an official visit to Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Mr. Marn Ki-jeong revealed that the Korea Industrial Alliance Forum, which already has about 40 companies investing in Cambodia’s textile sector, intends to further diversify its investments. “There will be some more companies wishing to expand their business operations as well as invest in furniture, engineering, and vehicles in Cambodia,” he stated.

The Cambodian delegation expressed strong support for these investment initiatives. The President clarified Cambodia’s supportive policies and legal framework, emphasising vocational training programs aimed at helping young people from 1.5 million poor and vulnerable families to meet market demands.

In preparation for the upcoming business forum, Samdech Thipdey encouraged the Korea Industrial Alliance Forum to maintain close cooperation with the Cambodian Embassy in South Korea and the Ministry of Commerce to ensure the event’s success.
