Phnom Penh, Feb 8 (Prensa Latina) China is the main investor in
Cambodia over the last 18 years, investing a figure equivalent to more
than nine billion USD, an amount that must double due to the new
projects planned by China.
A government report said that South Korea, Malaysia, the United
Kingdom, Vietnam and Thailand invested amounts that range from one to
four billion USD between 1994 and 2012.
Still, China will remain
as the most important investor in the cooperation sector in Cambodia,
given the construction of 400 kilometers of railroad, an iron and steel
plant and a harbor, for an amount equivalent to 11 billion USD.
Those will be the greatest investments ever in Cambodian history, noted
the Post newspaper in late 2012 when Chinaâ�Ös ambitious plan was
revealed.
Cambodia needs to prepare for the future exploitation
of hydrocarbon resources under the waters the country shares with
Thailand.
Other Chinese investments are directed toward textile production, banking and finance, real estate, tourism and agriculture.
