China — On Monday afternoon, September 8, 2025, Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol, First Vice-Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, delivered a keynote address at the Future Investment Conference (FIC), organised by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in partnership with the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT).
He thanked the Chinese government and all parties involved for organising the important forum, which brought together national leaders, investors and innovators from around the world to discuss investment, trade and technology.
He said that, under Prime Minister Hun Manet’s leadership, Cambodia was implementing the Pentagonal Strategy–Phase I, focusing on five areas: human-capital development; economic diversification and competitiveness; private-sector and employment development; resilient and sustainable development; and digital-economy development.
He outlined Cambodia’s investment advantages, including its strategic location in the heart of ASEAN, infrastructure networks across sectors, an open investment environment, a young workforce and broad market access through ASEAN, WTO membership and other international frameworks. He also stressed the government’s sincere commitment to supporting investors’ growth.
The Cambodia–China Free Trade Agreement and RCEP had also strengthened trade, investment and technological ties.
Cambodia continued warmly welcoming Chinese and other international investors to explore opportunities in important sectors such as industry, infrastructure, logistics, green energy and the digital economy.
