Vietnamese Companies Show Interest in Key Investment Sectors in Cambodia Cambodia and Vietnam are focusing on establishing more Special Economic Zones (SEZs) along the border to attract more businesses and boost investment. As of June, 215 Vietnamese investment projects worth $2.94 billion were operating in Cambodia, contributing to infrastructure development, job creation, and income for many Cambodian workers. These projects are in 18 of Cambodia's 25 capitals and provinces, focusing on sectors such as agriculture, telecommunications, banking, financial services, food processing, mining, aviation, and tourism. To promote Vietnamese investment in Cambodia, the two countries should establish more SEZs along the border line. The Cambodian government is working to dismantle and reduce trade barriers, streamline customs procedures, and create a legal environment with clarity and transparency. The Cambodia Chamber of Commerce reports that most companies listed in Cambodia currently originate from China, Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries. The Cambodian government has agreed to establish a joint mixed trade commission to promote bilateral trade growth. (Source: Khmer Times)
