I. 7th, August 2026, officially visit Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia
On the afternoon of August 7, 2026, Dr. Jonathan K.S. Choi, Standing Committee Member of National Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (NCCPPCC) of the P.R.C, Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong (CGCC), Chairman of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Entrepreneurs Alliance (GBA Alliance), led the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area business delegation in a meeting with Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, and 15 senior government officials from various ministries. The two sides held in-depth discussions on Cambodia's new economy and China-Cambodia industrial cooperation.
Dr. Choi said that, returning to Cambodia with a Greater Bay Area business delegation after two years, he could clearly feel that Cambodia is entering a new stage of transformation and upgrading. In particular, the opening of Techo International Airport, with its efficient immigration and customs procedures, together with continued infrastructure improvements, has further enhanced Cambodia's national image and international investor confidence.

He noted that the delegation is focusing on emerging and livelihood-oriented projects, including an Artificial Intelligence Center, Sunwah Innovation Center, healthcare and wellness initiatives, a home furnishing and building materials exhibition and trading center, and electric tuk-tuks. Cambodia is gradually expanding from traditional labor-intensive industries toward new economy sectors. The government's openness, flexibility and strong commitment to attracting investment are creating favorable conditions for Chinese entrepreneurs to invest and establish businesses in Cambodia.

He emphasized that reliable energy supply and sound legal and regulatory systems are critical foundations for the implementation of new economy projects. Artificial intelligence and technology projects require stable electricity and digital infrastructure. With the development of the digital economy, there is also a need to further strengthen data security and compliant data flows, while exploring more flexible regulatory pilot mechanisms in selected emerging sectors. For advanced healthcare solutions such as stem cells, cell therapies and innovative medicines, clearer regulatory and supervisory frameworks are needed to create favorable conditions for the implementation of innovative healthcare projects.

Dr. Choi specifically noted that during his meeting with H.E. Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia, the two sides had discussed key projects and agreed to work toward the implementation of a KPI covering 10 projects, as requested by the Deputy Prime Minister. Through the meeting with Prime Minister Hun Manet, he expressed the hope of further advancing these projects and accelerating Sunwah Group's industrial development and investment presence in Cambodia.
Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his support for the development directions of the above-mentioned projects and, during the meeting, endorsed Sunwah Group's efforts to advance a series of projects in Cambodia. He also instructed the ministers present at the meeting to engage in follow-up discussions with Sunwah Group and facilitate the concrete implementation of the projects.
He emphasized that Cambodia welcomes cooperation in AI infrastructure, applications and talent training, while placing importance on developing the supporting capabilities required for these sectors. The government will continue to reform its investment legal framework and provide more flexible and tailored regulatory and investment solutions based on the characteristics of different industries. Cambodia will also promote industrial collaboration with China, Vietnam and other neighboring countries, as well as the “Plus +1” cooperation model with other countries.
In energy and infrastructure, he emphasized that the government will further strengthen electricity supply capacity and explore new energy sources such as hydrogen. The expansion of the deep-sea port at Sihanoukville is also being advanced. Cambodia welcomes investment in ports, logistics and industrial parks, while encouraging cooperation in warehousing, transportation and supply chains to further expand international route connectivity. At the same time, the government will continue to strengthen public security and investor protection, creating a stable environment for international companies investing in Cambodia.
He said that the government will continue to improve the legal system and optimize regulatory mechanisms through consultation, pilot programs and dynamic adjustments. It will also strengthen investment due diligence and project evaluation, pay close attention to the actual operating experience of enterprises in Cambodia, and further improve data security regulation to ensure the safe and orderly development of new industries.
Both sides agreed that the meeting further clarified the direction of cooperation between Sunwah Group and Cambodia in the new economy and livelihood-oriented sectors. Going forward, both sides will strengthen coordination on the above-mentioned key projects, with relevant government departments following up on implementation to accelerate project realization and promote complementary strengths and cross-border collaboration between Cambodian and Chinese industries.
