Phnom Penh, April 11, 2024 – Cambodia and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have engaged in discussions aimed at further enhancing Korean investments within the Cambodian kingdom. This vital dialogue unfolded during a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister SUN Chanthol, who also serves as the First Vice President of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), and Park Jung-Wook, the South Korean Ambassador to Cambodia. The meeting was convened at the CDC headquarters in Phnom Penh on April 10.
