A Chinese investor delegation from Beijing visited Cambodia to learn more about its investment climate, particularly in plantation timber and textile manufacturing.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, August 13, 2025, Lim Visal, deputy secretary-general of the Cambodian Investment Board of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, and his colleagues met investors from Beijing and Anhui at the council’s headquarters.
Lim Visal welcomed the delegation and noted close Cambodia–China ties and development cooperation on infrastructure supported by the Chinese government and people. He outlined Cambodia’s investment climate, applicable laws and regulations, and investment incentives. He also highlighted the public–private dialogue mechanisms the council organises with businesses from several countries, saying they help retain and attract investment.
The delegation’s representative thanked Lim Visal for meeting them. The group wanted to learn more about Cambodia’s investment climate, particularly plantation timber and end-to-end textile manufacturing.
Lim Visal welcomed the two prospective investments and said projects of these types qualified for incentives under existing law. He said integrated textile production, from fabric and buttons to finished garments, aligned with policy to make more inputs locally, add value and serve export markets. This would be especially important as Cambodia was due to leave the least developed countries (LDC) category at the end of 2029. He said EU rules of origin would then require double transformation.
