China’s southwestern province of Sichuan will be the focus of a trade exhibition to be held in Phnom Penh later this year, an event aimed at promoting bilateral trade and investment between the Chinese province and the kingdom.
Li Dong Chun, secretary general of the Sichuan Association, said at a press conference in Phnom Penh yesterday that the expo will be hosted this June in Phnom Penh’s Diamond Island.
“The Sichuan-Cambodia Trade Exhibition will be joined by many companies from Sichuan, particularly companies that specialise on construction materials and furniture,” Mr Li said, pointing out also that attendants will be able to buy items at discounted prices.
Speaking during the same press conference, Mao Thora, secretary of state at the Ministry of Commerce, said the Sichuan-Cambodia Trade Expo will enhance economic ties with Sichuan and with China as a whole.
“Cambodia’s trade and investment policy is very open. We are always encouraging investment into the country,” he said.
