Guangzhou, China, 8 September 2026 — The Cambodia Coastal Master Plan Secretariat, in collaboration with the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Administration, ISI Special Economic Zone and Sunwah Group, brought Preah Sihanouk’s investment opportunities to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through a “China-Cambodia Collaboration: Smart Manufacturing for ASEAN”.

The event brought together around 50 representatives from Chinese enterprises, business associations, government institutions and professional service providers to explore investment and industrial cooperation opportunities in Cambodia.

H.E. Mang Sineth, Governor of Preah Sihanouk Province, warmly welcomed investors to explore Preah Sihanouk Province as a strategic destination for supply chain expansion and production relocation in ASEAN. He highlighted the province’s growing infrastructure and connectivity as a strong foundation for supply chain diversification, production relocation and ASEAN expansion, while reaffirming the government’s commitment to a transparent, efficient and investor-friendly environment.

H.E. Chea Kok Hong, Secretariat Director of the Cambodia Coastal Master Plan, highlighted opportunities across automotive and EV, electronics, furniture and agro-processing. EV registrations reached 7,632 in the first half of 2026, up 136% year on year, while Cambodia’s tyre exports reached US$1.4 billion in 2025. Opportunities also extend across furniture manufacturing and supporting industries, as well as agro-processing of seafood, meat, fruits and other agricultural products.

Together, these opportunities reflect a broader shift: from manufacturing individual products to building complete supply chains in Cambodia for the ASEAN market.

The Secretariat also highlighted its investment facilitation approach, supporting investors in identifying suitable opportunities and locations, assessing risks, connecting with potential partners, coordinating with relevant authorities and supporting project implementation. The aim is to help businesses move from exploring Cambodia to developing concrete investment projects.

The forum also featured a panel discussion among the Governor of Preah Sihanouk Province, the Secretariat Director of the Cambodia Coastal Master Plan, the Chairman of ISI SEZ, and representatives of relevant companies. The discussion provided a platform to exchange views and address questions directly from Chinese investors interested in exploring investment opportunities in Preah Sihanouk Province.

The investment mission extended beyond the exchange through direct company visits to Guangzhou Haifeng Auto Parts Co., Ltd., Guangdong Xianneng Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Dahua Technology, Guangzhou Youwei Household Product Co., Ltd., and Guangzhou New View Electrical & Lighting Co., Ltd. The visits enabled direct discussions with companies across automotive components, environmental technology, digital technology, household products, electrical and lighting, while exploring potential investment linkages aligned with the Cambodia Coastal Master Plan.

To all investors, the Preah Sihanouk Provine Governor highlight the mission and commitment of the provincial administration:

1. "The success of investors is our joy."

2. "Please join with the Sihanoukville Provincial Administration toward success together."

3. "We are ready to cooperate with and facilitate all investors with speed, transparency, and high efficiency."
