Guangxi and Cambodia: the hubs of ASEAN trade and cooperation Guangxi province and Cambodia's strategic locations have become gateways for ASEAN trade and cooperation. ASEAN markets accounted for 47.6% of Guangxi's foreign trade value in 2021, highlighting the importance of close economic ties between the two regions. Bilateral trade volume between Cambodia and China surged to nearly $11.2 billion in 2021, with China becoming Cambodia's largest export market. Bilateral trade volume between Cambodia and Guangxi increased by 88% in 2022, while exports from Cambodia to Guangxi increased by 85.3%. Cambodia's trade with China reached $7.09 billion in the first seven months of 2023, and trade between Cambodia and mainland China is expected to reach over $12 billion by the end of this year.

Kingdom-Philippines trade is expected to reach $100 million this year The trade between Cambodia and the Philippines is expected to surpass $100 million this year, as economic ties between the two ASEAN Member States grow stronger. Ambassador Maria Amelita C. Aquino, the Philippines to Cambodia, announced that bilateral trade reached $100.10 in 2022, indicating a good pace of growth. The Philippines is a leading economy in the Asean bloc, with a projected growth of 6.2% in 2023 and 6.2% in 2024. Aquino encouraged participants to take an interest in doing business in the Philippines, particularly in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical sectors. She expressed confidence that the new law of the Philippines that liberalized rice imports could boost bilateral trade through imports of more rice from Cambodia. Additionally, efforts are being made to improve air connectivity between the Philippines and Cambodia, with efforts to resume Cebu-Siem Reap flights. (Source: Khmer Times)
