Senior officials from the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) met with a delegation from the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) in California on January 27, 2026, to strengthen economic cooperation and catalyse investment flows between the Kingdom and the United States.

H.E. Nuth Unvoanra, Deputy Secretary General of the Cambodian Investment Board (CIB) at the CDC, hosted the working session with the California-based representatives, led by President Kim Chha Huot. 

The talks focused on navigating the evolving regulatory landscape and identifying high-growth sectors for American investors.

During the meeting, H.E. Unvoanra briefed the delegation on Cambodia’s latest investment laws, bilateral trade data, and the specific incentives offered to foreign firms. He emphasised the Royal Government’s commitment to providing a supportive environment for long-term capital commitments.

"The delegation is deeply impressed by Cambodia’s rapid development and sees significant untapped potential," said Kim Chha Huot, noting that the group is specifically scouting opportunities in: hospital infrastructure and human resource development; modernising supply chains and service delivery; information technology and digital infrastructure; agricultural processing and livestock; and expanding import-export channels between the two regions.

H.E. Unvoanra expressed gratitude to the California Chamber for its consistent role in facilitating investment missions, including recent high-level visits by Cambodia’s First Vice-President of the CDC to the United States.

The CDC reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining an open-door policy for the Chamber, pledging to provide technical support and comprehensive data to help California-based investors finalise their market entry strategies.
