(Phnom Penh): Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet reaffirmed the Royal Government’s unwavering commitment to preserving peace and stability at all costs. He stressed that, alongside safeguarding national stability, the Royal Government continues to prioritize infrastructure development and the cultivation of a highly competitive young workforce, which will actively and effectively support national production.

The premier spoke on Friday (Jun. 20) at the first anniversary of the official operations of the Cambodia Confederation of Investors Association (CCIA) in Phnom Penh.

“All of you can witness for yourselves the peace and stability that Cambodia enjoys today. Although there are some ongoing challenges along the border, the Royal Government remains steadfast in its commitment to resolving these matters peacefully, in order to uphold peace and stability in both our nation and the broader region,” the premier underscored.

“I hope that all existing investors will continue to commit to investing in Cambodia. For those who are new and exploring opportunities, I equally hope you will consider choosing Cambodia as a base for investment and as a link in global production chains,” Samdech Thipadei added.

According to the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), within the first five months of 2025, a total of 290 investment projects were approved, amounting to approximately USD 4.2 billion in capital investment. Compared to the same period in 2024, this marks an increase of 137 projects, or roughly 90 per cent, while the total investment capital rose by over USD 1.4 billion, representing an increase of about 52 per cent.

Separately, the Ministry of Tourism reported that during the same five-month period, Cambodia received approximately 2.95 million international visitors during the first five months of 2025, an increase of 11.7 per cent compared to the same period last year.
