The discussions were held on Thursday during a meeting between Chea Vuthy, Secretary-General of the Cambodian Investment Committee of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), and Rwanda’s Ambassador to Cambodia, Bakuramutsa Nkubito Manzi, and his delegation.

According to Cambodian media, the meeting focused on ways to deepen economic and investment relations between the two countries, with Vuthy highlighting the importance of stronger cooperation to support sustainable economic growth, enhance resilience, and attract quality investment.

Vuthy also commended Rwanda’s progress in economic diversification and transformation, investment promotion and private-sector development.

He said the two countries could benefit from sharing experiences and best practices in these areas as they seek to expand economic cooperation.

A key proposal discussed during the meeting was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Cambodian Investment Committee of the CDC and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB).

The proposed agreement would provide a framework for cooperation in investment promotion and business facilitation while helping establish stronger links between the private sectors of Cambodia and Rwanda.

The two sides expressed their commitment to strengthening economic cooperation and turning the proposed initiatives into concrete actions that could generate mutual benefits.

The discussions come as Rwanda continues to seek greater foreign investment and expand economic partnerships with countries beyond its traditional markets.

For Cambodia, closer engagement with Rwanda could provide an opportunity to strengthen its economic presence in Africa while opening avenues for businesses from both countries to explore new markets and partnerships.
