He emphasised the importance of selecting an environmentally sustainable site for the new refinery, suggesting the establishment of a special economic zone tailored for oil refining.

In response, Beijing Sainte Holding committed to leveraging advanced Chinese technology and expertise to ensure the project’s successful execution, highlighting their role in supporting Cambodia’s socio-economic development.
