In the meeting, H.E. Sun Chanthol said Cambodia is an open and free market economy, stressing that it needs all kinds of support, including financial resource, knowledge and skills, to attract foreign investment. H.E. Senior Minister also briefed the delegation on the country’s mega infrastructure development projects – expressway, deep seaport, new airports, and so on. Moreover, H.E.
