Exploring Opportunities in Cambodia

H.E. Sopheak Sok, Secretary of State, Ministry of Commerce, Cambodia, called on the Chamber this morning to discuss increasing trade and cooperation between Hong Kong and Cambodia. Accompanied by Bunthorn Sok, Deputy Director-General for International Trade, the visitors were welcomed by Chamber Deputy Chairman Agnes Chan, CEO Patrick Yeung, as well as General Committee members and the Asia, Africa & Middle East leadership.

Despite the geographical proximity between Cambodia and Hong Kong, the two regions have yet to optimize trade and economic cooperation between the two areas. Secretary Sok said the ongoing infrastructural and trading development in Cambodia presents many opportunities in various sectors, especially in agriculture, professional services, green technology, and financial technology.

He hopes that more investment and technology transfers from Hong Kong can increase the country's expertise and position in the value chain. Chan said that under the East-meets-West strategy, Hong Kong, as a financial hub, could play the role of super-connector. It was agreed to explore further collaboration and the signing of an MOU with the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce to facilitate dialogue, exchanges and trade missions.
