Minister of Commerce H.E. Mrs. Cham Nimul received here on Nov. 11 a delegation of the Japan-Cambodia Association (JCA), to discuss on deepening economic cooperation, expand bilateral trade and encourage greater participation of Japanese businesses in Cambodia’s economic development.
The delegation was led by Mr. Takahashi Fumiaki, President of the JCA and former Ambassador of Japan to Cambodia.
During the meeting, the delegation presented updates on the implementation of the association’s 2026 Business Strategy and its strategic plan for 2027.
The presentation highlighted several key initiatives, including promoting agricultural product processing in a special economic zone for Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), developing digital marketing strategies for Japanese brands that manufacture products using Cambodian raw materials, and expanding the promotion of Japanese-made products in the Cambodian market.
In response, H.E. Mrs. Cham Nimul welcomed and highly appreciated the JCA’s initiatives, recognising their potential to further strengthen bilateral economic ties and create additional business opportunities between the two countries.
She spoke highly of the longstanding economic and trade cooperation between Cambodia and Japan, particularly the continued growth in bilateral trade.
Additionally, the Minister also briefed the delegation on the Royal Government’s ongoing efforts, particularly through the Ministry of Commerce, to improve the business and investment climate, facilitate trade and continuously simplify and modernise public service delivery under the ministry’s jurisdiction.
She expressed appreciation to the JCA for its confidence in the Royal Government of Cambodia and its continued efforts to attract and mobilise Japanese companies, enterprises and investors to explore business opportunities and invest in Cambodia.
