Sri Dato ‘Soh Thian Lai, President of the NCCIM, presented and sought support for the three projects from Samdech Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, as per the press release from the Royal Government Spokesperson’s Unit.

The outlined projects are:

1. Cambodia-Malaysia Special Economic Zone: Focused on the high-tech sector.
