Twenty-three Chinese companies belonging to a visiting delegation from Zhaoqing City in China’s Guangdong province have formally expressed their intention to invest in establishing manufacturing plants for stainless steel, construction materials, furniture, and paint in Cambodia. The investment proposals were revealed during a working meeting on November 5, 2026, between Chea Vuthy, Secretary General of the Cambodian Investment Committee of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), and a delegation led by Liu Jingbo, Standing Committee Member and Vice Mayor of Zhaoqing City.

During the discussions, Vice Mayor Liu Jingbo commended Cambodia’s ongoing efforts to enhance its investment environment while raising practical inquiries regarding logistics, transportation, and electricity supply. Representatives of the accompanying Chinese enterprises detailed their plans to invest in local production facilities, including furniture manufacturing, paint production, and stainless steel and construction material plants, while requesting institutional support from the CDC for their upcoming projects.

In response, Secretary General Chea Vuthy affirmed that the CDC stands fully prepared to welcome, facilitate, and support investors not only during the initial decision-making phase but throughout the entire lifecycle of their business operations in Cambodia.

Highlighting bilateral economic ties, the CDC noted that China remains a primary source of foreign direct investment and a leading economic partner for Cambodia. Chinese investors are already actively driving industrial development across various sectors in the country, such as automobile tire production, electrical and electronic component manufacturing, furniture production, and the development of special economic zones. Concluding the session, the Chinese delegation pledged to further strengthen economic cooperation and promote industrial investment between Zhaoqing City and Cambodia. (read more)
