Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, September 10 — Yesterday, Chea Vuthy, Secretary General of the Cambodian Investment Board (CIB), met a delegation led by Zheng Haiyang, Vice Governor of China’s Henan province, for in-depth discussions on strengthening and expanding investment cooperation. The meeting was authorised by Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice President of the Council for the Development of Cambodia Sun Chanthol.
Chea Vuthy said Chinese leaders, particularly those in Henan, had actively encouraged companies to invest in Cambodia in recent years, contributing to economic growth and improved livelihoods. He stressed that Cambodia and China were working together to build a community with a shared future in the new era, with increasingly close cooperation and substantial results.
He expressed hope that Henan would continue encouraging investors to explore opportunities in Cambodia, especially in raw materials and semi-finished products, agricultural processing, export supply chains, integrated agro-industrial ecosystems and specialised economic zones, to add value and stabilise agricultural product supplies.
Vice Governor Zheng Haiyang praised Cambodia’s rapid development and the recognition and competitiveness of its agricultural products in Henan. He said Henan, an important Chinese province, had rich cultural resources, convenient infrastructure and strong agricultural, industrial and manufacturing foundations. It would continue promoting cooperation across sectors and support Cambodia’s goal of becoming a high-income country by 2050.
Henan lies in central China in the Yellow River basin. It covers about 167,000 square kilometres and has a population of nearly 98 million, making it one of China’s provinces with strong development potential.
