The delegation was led by Mr. CHEN Jun, Executive Vice-President and Secretary-General of the Association. The main focus of the discussion was to explore the potential for strengthening and expanding economic, trade, and investment cooperation between Cambodia and China within the Asian region.

Broad Investment Opportunities in Cambodia

During the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol extended a warm welcome to the delegation, who expressed their interest in seeking investment opportunities in Cambodia.

The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the broad investment opportunities available in Cambodia, which are facilitated by the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC). He noted that the CDC serves as the supporting body and the single window for the Royal Government, responsible for overseeing and managing development cooperation, private investment, and Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

The Deputy Prime Minister also highlighted the Reciprocal Trade Agreement between Cambodia and the United States, which was formally signed on October 26, 2025, noting that it provides increased certainty for investors.

Commitment to Bring Chinese Companies to Invest

In response, Mr. CHEN Jun, speaking on behalf of the delegation, expressed his profound gratitude to the Deputy Prime Minister for giving the Association’s delegation the opportunity to meet and discuss cooperation.

He expressed the willingness to encourage and bring high-potential member companies specializing in technology and various processing industries to study the feasibility and seek opportunities to invest in Cambodia.

The officials confirmed their shared goal: they want the sub-region to be connected digitally and environmentally friendly (green).

According to a press release from Cambodia’s Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI), the main goal of the meeting was to work together more closely on science, technology, and new ideas (innovation). This cooperation is meant to create growth across the Mekong region that is sustainable, includes everyone, and produces less carbon pollution.

A major decision made at the meeting was the promise to improve cooperation on sharing data across borders. They agreed that letting data flow freely between countries is essential for improving trade, transportation (logistics), and the shift to digital systems.

H.E. Dr. Try Sophal, a Director General from Cambodia’s MISTI, spoke at the event. He said, “The Lancang-Mekong Cooperation today is not just a regional group, but a powerful driving force for shared and lasting success. The Innovation Corridor is a forward-looking plan that must be strongly built on the foundations of science, technology, and new ideas.”

He also emphasized Cambodia’s commitment to environmentally friendly growth. He noted that using green technology and building sustainable industries are key priorities for the country.

The Cambodian team suggested two concrete actions:

1. Creating an LMC Task Force to push forward a plan for exchanging green technology.
2. Starting a joint research program in 2026 focused on green technology and digital innovation.
