On August 18, National Assembly Second Vice President Vong Sauth received a courtesy call from Hu Rongen, who leads a Chinese legal research institute focused on the Maritime Silk Road.
Vong Sauth said China was Cambodia’s largest investor at the time. He called the 2025 Cambodia–China tourism year an opportunity to expand people-to-people exchanges and economic ties, strengthen the bilateral partnership and advance the Cambodia–China community with a shared future.
He said Cambodia was ready to help Chinese investors and businesses at every stage of their operations in the country, and would seek to make full use of its free trade agreements. He pointed to government support for the private sector and described Cambodia as a promising destination for trade and investment.
He said the Cambodia–China free trade agreement had brought growing benefits to people in both countries since it came into force in 2022.
Hu said his institute wanted to work with Cambodia on legal research and policy exchanges under the Belt and Road Initiative, with support from the National Assembly.
He thanked Chea Munyrith, chair of the Cambodia–China development research association, and the China Foundation for Peace and Development for supporting the exchange.
