AKP Phnom Penh, June 26, 2025 --

Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, received a delegation from the Malaysia-Cambodia Business Association (MCBA), led by its President, Dr. Dato' Sri Ricky Yaw, at the Peace Palace in Phnom Penh this afternoon.

During the courtesy call, Dr. Dato' Sri Ricky Yaw introduced the MCBA as a platform aimed at fostering stronger partnerships and enhancing connectivity between Malaysian and Cambodian business communities.

He said that the visiting delegation includes representatives from 20 associations, all of whom are interested in exploring investment opportunities in key sectors such as education, healthcare, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), agricultural processing, construction, and real estate, among others.

In reply, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet expressed his satisfaction with the growing relationship between Cambodia and Malaysia, particularly the expanding connectivity between the two nations. He highlighted the launch of direct flights by Cambodia Airways between Phnom Penh and Penang on June 26, with two weekly flights supplementing existing routes.

The Prime Minister warmly welcomed Malaysian investors and reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to fostering a favourable business environment. He underscored the government’s investor-friendly policies, including the Law on Investment, which offers a liberal framework and attractive incentives—especially for SMEs, a vital engine of Cambodia’s economic development.
He further emphasised the Royal Government’s ongoing efforts to enhance Cambodia’s competitiveness at both regional and international levels.

Samdech Thipadei encouraged the MCBA to deepen collaboration with relevant Cambodian ministries and institutions in order to better understand the country’s investment policies and take full advantage of available opportunities.
