Cambodia deposited its instrument of acceptance of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies on 6 May. Minister of Commerce Cham Nimul presented Cambodia's instrument of acceptance to Deputy Director-General Angela Ellard.DDG Ellard said: “I warmly welcome Cambodia's formal acceptance of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. By disciplining subsidies worldwide to harmful fishing, the Agreement will strongly benefit Cambodia, for which fisheries plays an important role in its food security and economic growth. Cambodia's formal acceptance underscores the significance that it, as a least-developed country, attaches to international collaboration in preserving the sustainability of the world's oceans.”Minister Cham said: “Cambodia is fully committed to and is a firm believer in the multilateral trading system. Depositing the instrument of acceptance of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies today reflects our unwavering commitment and relentless effort to regulate subsidies for illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. We are proud that, as a least-developed country, we can contribute to a solution in ensuring and protecting life underwater and ocean sustainability, thus attaining the UN-led 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. With approximately 260 million people directly or indirectly depending on sustainable marine resources, we cannot afford to wait any longer for the Agreement to come into effect, as marine stocks are being destroyed and diminished daily.”Cambodia's instrument of acceptance brings to 73 the total number of WTO members that have formally accepted the Agreement. Thirty-seven more formal acceptances are needed for the Agreement to come into effect. The Agreement will enter into force upon acceptance by two-thirds of the membership.Adopted by consensus at the WTO's 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12), held in Geneva on 12-17 June 2022, the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies sets new, binding, multilateral rules to curb harmful subsidies, which are a key factor in the widespread depletion of the world's fish stocks. In addition, the Agreement recognizes the needs of developing and least-developed countries and establishes a fund to provide technical assistance and capacity building to help them implement the obligations.The Agreement prohibits support for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, bans support for fishing overfished stocks and ends subsidies for fishing on the unregulated high seas.Members also agreed at MC12 to continue negotiations on outstanding issues, with a view to adopting additional provisions that would further enhance the disciplines of the Agreement.

Phnom Penh, May 06, 2024 --Kampot International Tourism Port (KITP), located in Teuk Chhou district of Kampot province on an area of 4.5 hectares, will be put into temporary use in the third quarter of 2024 and into official use at the end of this year to welcome increasing number of national and international tourists and boost the national economy.The information was shared by H.E. PENG Ponea, Minister of Public Works and Transport, in a discussion about the progress of KITP development with H.E. Pen Bona, Minister Delegate and Head of the Royal Government Spokesperson Unit posted on the ministry’s Facebook page on May 5.The minister continued that KITP, whose construction began in Aug. 8, 2018 and ended in June 30, 2022, was a part of tourism infrastructure development project under an ADB’s financing of US$9.27 million.Even though the construction was completed, the port has not yet been put into use because an operation company with enough investment capital (from US$5 to US$10 million) and experience to dig deeper and wider waterway are required along with more detailed study of navigation techniques, installation of navigation aids, and investment in the port’s safety infrastructure to ensure that KITP becomes a full tourism port in accordance with national and international standards, H.E. Minister explained.H.E. PENG Ponea continued that once in operation, KITP will give many benefits such as creating new international seaport for the country for connection from archipelagos in Cambodia to countries in the region and the world, increasing trust among local and international visitors, providing job opportunities and more incomes for local people and enterprises, as well as supporting key policies and measures of the Royal Government to promote tourism sector, augmenting national economic profit and so on.The minister further added that, though Cambodia has now a total of 119 ports and port terminals, of which two are international ports – Phnom Penh Autonomous Port & Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, 88 along the river, and 31 at coastal areas, they have still not met the real needs of the country' geographical areas.In this regard, H.E.

Phnom Penh, April 30, 2024 --Head of the Royal Government Spokesperson's Unit interprets tremendous public support for the government's planned giant Funan Techo Canal as an indication of absolute defeat of 'extremist politicians'.H.E. Pen Bona, who is also a minister delegate, posted the insight on his social media platform, referring the extremist politicians to the remaining few convicted, self-exiled members of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party.He added that while the mainstream of Cambodians from all walks of life understood the need for the new water transport means to accelerate Cambodia's growth, those extremists manipulated the facts for political gain.The baseless and ill-willed reaction was severely doomed due to their underestimation of the public, particularly those who are living in the reality of Cambodia.More than ever, Cambodian students, intellectuals, civil servants, the armed forces, monks, and the general public, including those living overseas, condemned the politised, irresponsible, and narrow-minded views of the extremists, making them shamefully isolated.Along with the analysis, H.E. Pen Bona re-explained the importance of the existence of the Funan Techo Canal socio-economically, grounded on a thorough technical feasibility study by the government.He also considered the momentum of public support as a strong national unity and the faith earned by the hard work and clear direction of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
