In a significant move towards enhancing educational standards, the Philippines-based World Citi Group has expressed a strong interest in investing in Cambodia’s health education sector. The company aims to position Cambodia as a leader in health education across Asia.

Dr. Raymond Patrick V. Guico, President of World Citi Group, made this announcement during a meeting with Prime Minister Hun Manet on 10 February 2025. He shared the company’s vision of advancing health education at the tertiary level, emphasising the potential for Cambodia to excel in this field with appropriate investment and collaboration.

Building on recent partnerships, World Citi Group has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Asia-Europe University of Cambodia. This agreement is aimed at exploring investment opportunities and expanding the company’s presence in the education and vocational training sectors, particularly concerning health education.

Prime Minister Hun Manet extended his support for the company’s intentions, noting the importance of fostering quality education and industry standards. He encouraged the World Citi Group to actively engage with local partners and relevant governmental bodies, especially the Ministry of Health, which plays a pivotal role in establishing quality benchmarks for human resource development in the health sector.

Further reflecting on recent diplomatic efforts, Dr Guico highlighted the positive outcomes of the Cambodia-Philippines Business Forum and a courtesy visit by the Philippine Businesswomen’s Council to PM in January. He announced plans for a quick return of the company’s delegation to Cambodia to continue discussions on potential collaborations.

PM has expressed appreciation for World Citi Group’s proposed investments, particularly in the health education and vocational training areas, reinforcing the belief that strategic partnerships will lead to a prosperous future for Cambodia’s education landscape.

As the nation seeks to bolster its educational infrastructure, the upcoming collaborations are anticipated to set new standards in health education, further contributing to Cambodia’s growth and development.
