Why it matters
The assistance has targeted critical sectors including economic and trade development, rural infrastructure, and healthcare. Cambodia views Germany as a key European Union partner whose support has driven its socio-economic progress. The discussions also involved exploring avenues to attract greater German private-sector investment to Cambodia.
Cambodia is seeking trade and investment cooperation with Saudi Arabia and Germany, while also aiming for greater EU market access.
