Cambodian Ambassador Promotes Investment Opportunities at Osaka Seminar

PHNOM PENH, Sept. 17, 2026: H.E. Chum Suntory, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Cambodia to Japan, delivered a keynote address at a private seminar on "Investment Opportunity in Cambodia" in Osaka on Sept. 16, 2026.

The seminar was organised by MIRAKU Capital & Development Co., Ltd. and attended by investors, company representatives and Japanese business leaders with an interest in Cambodia.

In his remarks, Ambassador Chum Suntory highlighted the strong and long-standing relations between Cambodia and Japan, and praised the contribution of Japanese companies, which he said command respect and high trust in Cambodia owing to their quality, professionalism, technology, skills development and responsible business practices.

He also referred to his meeting with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) on Sept. 15, where both sides discussed strengthening economic and business cooperation between Cambodia and the Osaka-Kansai region. He recalled the Cambodia Investment Forum that OCCI successfully organised during the visit to Osaka in June 2026 by Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice-President of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) Sun Chanthol.

The Ambassador outlined Cambodia's attractive advantages for foreign investors, including an open and investor-friendly environment, expanded access to regional and international markets through ASEAN, RCEP and other trade agreements, a young and active workforce, a strategic geographic location and growing connectivity, and the Royal Government's commitment to promoting the private sector.

He encouraged Japanese companies, including small and medium enterprises in Osaka and the Kansai region, to increase their engagement and explore opportunities in Cambodia, particularly in manufacturing and industrial technology, food processing and agribusiness, logistics, infrastructure and urban development, clean energy, digital technology, healthcare, tourism and human resource development.

Ambassador Chum Suntory reaffirmed that the Cambodian Embassy in Japan stands ready to serve as a bridge for Japanese businesses, including connecting interested companies with the Council for the Development of Cambodia, relevant ministries and institutions, the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce and potential Cambodian business partners.

Before concluding, the Ambassador briefed the seminar on Cambodia's campaign to combat and eliminate technology-enabled fraud, outlining key actions taken by Cambodian authorities, results achieved to date and the way forward.
