Cambodia: Cambodia's Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, H.E. Khuon Phon Rattanak, met with a high-level trade delegation on Friday to discuss expanding the presence of Cambodian goods in South Korean markets and strengthening bilateral industrial ties. The meeting highlights the growing efforts to enhance trade relations and promote Cambodian products in international markets.
According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the delegation, led by H.E. Phal Sokcheat, Secretary General of the National Committee for the Promotion of One Village One Product (OVOP), included representatives from private firms DCON, Baray Global Management, and Barimex. The focus of the delegation's mission was to assess the demands of South Korean consumers for Cambodian products, identify and address technical barriers hindering Cambodian exports, and strengthen the export pipeline for high-potential Cambodian agricultural goods.

Ambassador Rattanak welcomed the mission's progress, emphasizing the embassy's readiness to collaborate with the OVOP National Committee. "We are committed to facilitating the entry of Cambodian products into the Korean market," the Ambassador said. He expressed optimism that more "Made in Cambodia" goods will soon be available to South Korean consumers.
