PHNOM PENH, June 25, 2013 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on
Tuesday expressed his satisfaction with the good ties between Cambodia
and China's Hong Kong in trade, investment and tourism.
Speaking during a meeting with a group of Hong Kong business
executives led by John C Tsang, financial secretary of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, at the capital's Peace Palace, the
premier honored good relationship between Cambodia and China in general
and between Cambodia and Hong Kong region in particular.
He said he was very pleased to see good relations in trade,
investment and tourism, especially direct flights from Hong Kong to
Cambodia.
Meanwhile, the premier said that Cambodia has a number of sectors
with high potential for investors and appealed to Hong Kong investors to
consider their investments in those sectors including agriculture,
tourism, telecommunication, financial services, and export-oriented
processing and manufacturing.
John C Tsang said many Hong Kong investors have been doing businesses
in garment and footwear industry, construction, and real estate in
Cambodia and the delegation's visit was to explore potential and
opportunity for investment in Cambodia.
He said the visiting delegation is comprised of leaders of 24 firms
doing businesses in financial and professional services, infrastructure
and real estate, garments and textiles, telecommunications, food and
chemicals.
Hong Kong is Cambodia's 6th largest trading partner, according to Cambodian Minister of Commerce Cham Prasidh.
Bilateral trade between Cambodia and Hong Kong valued at 879 million
U.S. dollars in 2012, a 18 percent rise year-on-year, he said Tuesday.
Cambodia's export to Hong Kong was 68 million U.S. dollars, up 50
percent, while Hong Kong's export to Cambodia reached 811 million U.S.
dollars, up 25 percent.
On the investment side, Cambodia has received the cumulative
investment of 758 million U.S. dollars from Hong Kong from 1994 to 2012,
according to the Council for the Development of Cambodia.
For tourism, some 8,300 Hong Kong Chinese visited Cambodia last year, up 57 percent year-on-year, said a tourism report.

I don't think so but i am afraid Cambodia will become 1975 era soon.Remember ? when King Ta made a closeand good relationship with
China from1957 up to 1975 and what
happened from 1975. The entire Cambodia was fallen into China Communist hand. China controlled King Ta and Pol Pot on ruling country and complied with the cultural revolution system in resulting about almost 2 million Cambodian people were killed in that era.
What out! sooner or later Cambodia will become the 2nd Killing Field if Cambodians forget what was happening in that era and count them as good friends again.
