“The mission, which involves 26 Malaysian companies, features the Malaysia-Cambodia Business Seminar and business-to-business (B2B) meetings to connect Malaysian companies with prospective Cambodian partners.”
“More than 120 government officials, trade agency representatives, business leaders, importers and exporters from both countries are participating in the four-day MATRADE programme, which began on Tuesday.”
” ‘For Malaysian companies, Cambodia represents more than an emerging market; it is a vital catalyst and the definitive launchpad for accessing the broader Mekong region,’ MATRADE chairman Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican said at the seminar in Phnom Penh today.”
“With a population of more than 17 million, Cambodia offers a strong consumer market for Malaysian exporters across various sectors.”
