Cambodian Businesses Encouraged to Join Canton Fair in China

(AseanAll)  — The Cambodian Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the China Foreign Trade Centre, organised a press conference in Phnom Penh on January 15, 2025 on the 137th China Import and Export Fair, aiming to provide information and to encourage Cambodian businessmen to participate in the fair.

The event was held under the chairmanship of Buon Sarakmony, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Commerce of Cambodia with participation from representatives of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Cambodia, private sector leaders, companies, and enterprises.

The China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) is China’s largest international trade fair and is considered one of the most important trade fairs in the world.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Nguon Meng Tech, Director General of the Cambodian Chamber of Commerce, highlighted the importance of the Canton Fair and encouraged Cambodian businessmen to participate in the event, which is a valuable platform for Cambodian businessmen to showcase their products and services with potential partners from around the world.

The press conference is a good opportunity for Cambodian companies to receive full information from the exhibition organisers directly and to inquire in detail about the products and services of the China Import and Export Fair, he said.

On that occasion, Buon Sarakmony delivered a speech emphasising the significance of international trade fairs, particularly the 137th China Import and Export Fair, in enhancing Cambodia’s global trade engagement.

He highlighted the crucial contribution of international exhibitions to strengthening Cambodia’s trade partnerships, expanding business opportunities, and fostering economic growth through deeper international cooperation.

The Canton Fair is a biannual event, held in April and October every year.
