Phnom Penh: More and more major Chinese tire manufacturers are coming to set up factories in Cambodia, which is expected to help boost domestic rubber prices, which used to rely almost entirely on external markets in the past, especially in neighboring countries.

In order to encourage companies to decide to invest in Cambodia, Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol highlighted Cambodia's economic growth over the past 20 years, which has grown by an average of 7% every year under the leadership of Samdech Techo Hun Sen, before Covid-19. In addition, the nationwide infrastructure that Cambodia has been developing under the leadership of Samdech Hun Manet and considered as a strategic infrastructure for investors, including the new airport in Siem Reap, the new airport in Phnom Penh, the study of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Railway, Phnom Penh-Poi Pet Railway and deep water port expansion project.
