The PM emphasised that, “From now on, we will not issue a license to open a casino in Kampot. If you want to invest, you have to go to the border, and in the province, there is only one Bokor mountain that can continue to issue a license.” He further clarified that this restriction also applies to Kep province, where no casino licenses will be granted to the same investors.

Instead, PM Hun Manet urged investors to consider establishing casinos along the border and in Sihanoukville, which is in proximity to Kampot and Kep. He expressed strong support for the development of agro-industrial economic zones in these provinces as a preferable alternative to more casinos.
