The discussions centered on how to work together on a number of projects, including the China Ready evaluation system, digital payments, training for tour operators in digital literacy, and promotion of the Cambodia Pass program. 2.2 million foreign visitors came to Cambodia last year, an increase from 200,000 visitors in 2021.
