The Japan Cambodia Association plans to expand investments in Cambodia's golden silk and tilapia processing sectors for both domestic use and export, announced by JCA president after a meeting with the prime minister.

The broader push aims to deepen Cambodia–Japan economic ties through investments in key sectors, skill development, and regulatory collaboration, signaling positive momentum for future partnerships.

An MoU was signed between the JCA and Cambodia’s General Department of Administration (Ministry of Interior) to promote Japanese SMEs in Cambodia, with ongoing talks with other ministries to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

JCA intends to broaden investments in training programs for beauty care, cosmetics, and automotive care, and will host a workshop in Japan to publicize Cambodia’s Investment Law and inform local companies about investment climate, policies, and incentives.

Prime Minister Hun Manet welcomed JCA’s efforts to attract Japanese investment, highlighted Cambodia’s potential, and outlined plans such as transforming the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port into a regional shipping and logistics hub and pursuing a Cambodia–Japan Special Economic Zone.
