China's Foreign Minister visits Cambodia to bolster Belt and Road projects In conjunction with the Cambodia-China exchange year, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi embarked on a three-day visit to Cambodia to participate in the seventh intergovernmental coordination committee (ICC) meeting, aimed at advancing projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This marks Wang's second official trip to the Kingdom since Prime Minister Hun Manet assumed office, indicating the importance China places on its relationship with Cambodia. The agenda includes a royal audience with King Norodom Sihamoni, courtesy calls to key leaders, and co-chairing the ICC meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol to discuss BRI projects. The visit underscores China's commitment to deepening bilateral ties and promoting regional economic integration, especially amid increasing strategic competition in the Asia-Pacific region.

Cambodia explores Double Taxation Avoidance agreements with seven countries The General Department of Taxation (GDT) of Cambodia has announced its intention to negotiate Double Taxation Avoidance (DTA) deals with seven countries, including the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, France, Japan, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates. This initiative aims to provide confidence and certainty to foreign investors by avoiding double taxation and enhancing international competitiveness. DTAs play a crucial role in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) by eliminating tax discrimination between local and foreign companies and facilitating the resolution of tax disputes. Additionally, it allows for the exchange of information between state authorities to combat tax evasion. Cambodia's efforts to expand its network of DTAs align with its broader strategy to attract investment, enhance trade relations, and foster economic growth. With ongoing negotiations and the implementation of DTAs, Cambodia aims to create a more favorable investment environment and promote cross-border investment opportunities for local businesses.

Cambodia's path to graduation of from LDC status Cambodia's imminent graduation from the United Nations' least-developed-country (LDC) category by 2027, highlighted in the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) 2024 Economic Outlook, marks a significant milestone underpinned by surpassing critical thresholds for economic indicators. While offering long-term economic benefits such as increased foreign direct investment and economic growth, the transition also poses immediate challenges, notably the loss of crucial trade benefits and reduction in official development assistance. To address these challenges, Cambodia is advised to expand its engagement in free trade agreements, diversify its markets and products, and invest in human capital and climate-resilient infrastructure. Success in navigating these challenges will be pivotal in shaping Cambodia's post-graduation trajectory and ensuring continued development beyond the LDC status. (Source: Khmer Times).
