Phnom Penh, 31 May 2021: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has made practical recommendations at the 2nd Virtual Seoul Summit of Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 for Resilient and Sustainable Development post the Covid-19 crisis.
In a statement, he recommended that the promotion and support of the principles of globalisation be continued through openness of international trade, in order to enhance economic growth, which would address issues in all areas, especially those related to climate change.
He went on to say that it is crucial that regional and international cooperation be strengthened and expanded, particularly in relation to sustainable development and the promotion of “green development” in agriculture, urbanisation, the circular and digital economy, as well as energy.
He believes that incentives have to be introduced to encourage start-ups to innovate green business models and push the private sector to enhance their focus on green investments.
