Plans call for a feasibility assessment for train connections to Vietnam and Thailand According to Minister of Public Works and Transport Sun Chanthol, a major study to assess the viability of constructing a new railway line across Cambodia connecting Thailand and Vietnam is currently under way. This project intends to improve domestic transportation and cross-border trade. The proposed route would link the Thai border town of Poipet in Banteay Meanchey province with Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, Kampong Chhnang, Phnom Penh, and the Vietnamese border town of Bavet in Svay Rieng. It would also allow for trains to continue on to Ho Chi Minh City via Moc Bai at speeds of up to 160 km/h. (Source: The Phnom Penh Post)

Collaboration between Bakong and UPI on cross-border QR Code payments to draw more Chinese tourists More Chinese tourists from China are likely to visit Cambodia thanks to cross-border QR Code payment transactions made possible by KHQR between Bakong's network and UnionPay International's global QR Code acceptance network. According to the MOU, Chinese tourists will be able to pay by QR code in Cambodia through KHQR, and Cambodian citizens and visitors will also be able to do so while traveling in China, according to NBC Deputy Governor Chea Serey. Because Cambodians can make payments in Riel abroad, she claimed that the transaction will assist to promote the use of the Riel and boost its reputation on the global arena. According to the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia hopes to welcome 1 million Chinese tourists in 2023, up from 106,875 in 2022. (Source: Khmer Times)
