In addition, His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister encouraged the private sector to continue working closely with the Royal Government of Cambodia to prepare itself for positioning Cambodia to attract investment in upstream and high-value-added industries. At the same time, His Excellency continued to call for broad-based opening-up and strengthening more active and closer communication mechanisms between the public and private sectors, with a view to jointly building new achievements and success stories on the soil of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
